A Beautiful Blue Death by Charles Finch
4.0
RATING: 4 STARS
I happened to read some of the reviews before I started A Beautiful Blue Death, and the ratings were all over the board. I wasn't sure how I would land on this one, but tried to go into it without any expectations. Usually, I am a bit kinder (lack of a better word...actually, the only word that comes to mind) with first books in the series. There is a balance of introducing all new characters, world and having an engaging storyline. While there were some moments I did feel like the story lagged a bit, on the whole Finch's writing was well done, and I could see the potential of the next few books. What endeared me to this book was Charles Lennox and his relationship with Jane, Toto and her husband. I am looking forward to the next book.
