A review by shinysue
As You Wish by Isobel Starling

medium-paced

• Strong character development? Yes
• Diverse cast of characters? No

3.5

A bit difficult to rate because this book ends on a very bittersweet note (not between the characters, but with the plot). I'm honestly not excited to read the next book, I'm quite happy to just walk away from this entire thing. I don't like the feelings this book has left me with. maybe if you like thrillers you'll like where this is headed. but it's such a tonal shift from the rest of the book, that this kind of feels like a bait-and-switch.

and, as others have pointed out, the unnecessary misogyny really dates the book.
