Rose Point: Her Instruments, Book 2 by M.C.A. Hogarth
3.0
This is the second book in Hogarth's "Her Instruments" sequence, one of several story-arcs set in her Pelted Universe. I read and loved several books from another of those story-arcs, the Dreamhealers arc, earlier this summer. While I enjoyed much of this book, I didn't come close to loving it. I don't want to make a series of negative remarks about a book that I (mostly) enjoyed, especially given that I've loved other works by the same author, but I will name my single biggest difficulty with it. Spoiler ahead. Rather than recommending this book, I'd instead highly recommend trying Hogarth's "Mindtouch," first in the Dreamhealers sequence, a quiet book that moved me greatly.
About my reviews: I try to review every book I read, including those that I don't end up enjoying. The reviews are not scholarly, but just indicate my reaction as a reader, reading being my addiction. I am miserly with 5-star reviews; 4 stars means I liked a book very much; 3 stars means I liked it; 2 stars means I didn't like it (though often the 2-star books are very popular with other readers and/or are by authors whose other work I've loved).

The romance thread fell entirely flat for me, enough so that it repeatedly took me out of the story.About my reviews: I try to review every book I read, including those that I don't end up enjoying.
