The Virtu by Sarah Monette

4.0

A solid sequel and an entertaining fantasy adventure. I really love the pace of these books, where action scenes are not dragged out. The language barrier felt smaller in this book, with most of the new vocabulary being described as they were introduced. However, I still really struggle with some of the language. It's really hard to pick their accents, with Mildmay mixing 19th Century English words (e.g. molly) with modern-day American (y'all and 'an herb'). This needs to be more consistent, as it really takes me out of the world.

I think I realised that necromancy fantasy is something I enjoy. Good stuff.
