tellingetienne 's review for:

Rosemary and Rue by Seanan McGuire
4.0

I was bullied into reading this book, and I am very glad that I was. It was a great fast past urban fantasy/mystery with enough snark, twists, and turns to keep anyone happy. I was worried that the mythology would be hard to pick up, but it came easily and I had no need to hit up Wikipedia to confirm my knowledge of fairy hierarchy.

Toby was a great character, she was snarky and grumpy, and while I didn't identify with her, I felt connected to the choices she made throughout the novel. I look forward to tackling the rest of the series.

I will gladly suggest this book to patrons and friends who are also into urban fantasy or fae based fantasy stories.
