A review by mary_soon_lee
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.
SpoilerThe romance thread fell entirely flat for me, enough so that it repeatedly took me out of the story.
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).
