A Restless Truth by Freya Marske
5.0
adventurous emotional mysterious fast-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: Complicated
Flaws of characters a main focus: No

An excellent follow-up to A Marvellous Light. I loved getting to know Maud and seeing another side of Hawthorn (can’t wait to start A Power Unbound!). 

I was on the edge of my seat from start to finish. There were so many places where I gasped when I made connections to the previous book, or when I was struck by a particularly good plot-twist. 

Marske is very, very good at what she does—which is weaving tales of intrigue, magic, and—yes—queer desire.
