A RESTLESS TRUTH is the second book in the Last Binding trilogy, a queer, historical fantasy series. This book follows a young lady traveling with an older witch who gets murdered, and her efforts to find the killer with the help of some unlikely allies.

I read the first book of this series toward the end of last year and liked it well enough, but this book is soooo good! It unfortunately had the same kind of slow beginning of the first book, but it picked up so much sooner than I expected. I think the addition of the murder mystery element worked really well with the setting and made it that much more exciting. I loved the new characters introduced as well as being able to learn more about older characters. The romance was amazingggggg and I cannot wait to see how this series ends. Highly recommend!
