Without a Summer by Mary Robinette Kowal

4.0

So far my favorite thing about this series is that Jane and Vincent have realistic relationship tension that isn't overly dramatic—they don't have enormous problems, nor do they blow minor issues out of proportion. Their problems are very normal, and they deal with them like rational humans. It's surprisingly refreshing and relatable.

Overall, I feel this series is getting better and better with each installment. I'm enjoying the characters more, and I especially appreciated Melody's development in this book. She's becoming a delight to see on the page, and much more interesting and admirable than the Lydia-Bennett-act-alike that she was in the first novel. I'm very excited for #4!
