kaa 's review for:
The Queer Principles of Kit Webb
by Cat Sebastian
It pains me to rate a Cat Sebastian book this low, but I had high hopes that were very let down.
1) I am completely out of patience with m/m romances that conveniently fridge the wife of one of the heroes - look, instant tragically motivating backstory plus he's now available to fall for the other hero! (At least Sebastian doesn't use the dead wife to prove either the character's bisexuality or gayness, which makes it only slightly less terrible.)
2) I wanted more of a heist book! The pacing of this book is all over the place and there is very little actual heist-ing, which I found highly disappointing. (This lack is probably related to #3...)
3) This doesn't actually feel like Kit and Percy's story? From very early on I was much more interested in what was going on with Marion, and as the book goes on it became very apparent that the most compelling parts of the story don't have much to do with Kit and Percy. This feels like it could have been a shortened prequel to a more interesting book, or even just a side thread in that other novel. (I'll probably be reading the next book in the series just to find out if it's going to be more like the book I was hoping this would be.)
