Rosemary and Rue by Seanan McGuire
3.0
This is no "Dresden Files", but this shows potential - there's intrigue, a little romance without it being overbearing as female-lead Urban Fantasy sometimes gets to be - and an interesting world. I'll probably pick up the next few books and follow along.
Honestly, I think this could have stood further fleshing out, but I'm at a loss to say specifically. Maybe elaborations on relationships, court set ups, and so forth. An idea of the world that Toby walks alongside as she tries to balance out mortal and faerie. But perhaps in the next few books we'll get more to feed that appetite. I'll be picking up the next two this weekend in all likelihood; engaging enough for me to want more, but -- I was 'wanting more' from this book, too, so it doesn't quite rank four stars.
