Any Other Name by Emma Newman

adventurous mysterious tense slow-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? No
  • Loveable characters? It's complicated
  • Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

3.5

This is an intermediate novel. The plot thickens  but the ending is the beginning of a new stage in the overarching story.

Emma Newman doesn't pull any punches as to how horrifying it would be for a 21st century woman to find herself in Victorian high society, and with meliciouse fay to boot. 

All the coercion, manipulation and backstabbing, got to me and made Any Other Name a hard book for me to stomach. I can handle fast paced action and bodey horror allot better.
