cassimiranda 's review for:

Illuminations by T. Kingfisher
3.5
funny mysterious fast-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Plot
Strong character development: No
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: No

An interesting alternate history fantasy featuring magical paintings, an intelligent talking crow, and a vengeful mandrake. The patented Kingfisher charm is on display here, and I did enjoy the characters and world building. I just didn't find it quite as fun a read as her other works.
