A review by katyanaish
Rosemary and Rue by Seanan McGuire
2.0
This is a tough one to rate.
I liked the world, and that alone has me interested in continuing onward, but this story as a whole was pretty unsatisfying. It was really circular... like, every 3 chapters ended with Toby almost dying, and accepting it as she sank into darkness... and then being surprised to wake up. I mean, seriously, she was "dead" about a half dozen times in this book.
It just didn't feel like any real forward progress happened in this story at all.
I'm going to give the author the benefit of the doubt, here, and assume it was just a mess of setup for the rest of a really great series, because I've heard plenty of great things about these books from other people. We'll see.
