mayamere 's review for:

The Spare Man by Mary Robinette Kowal
3.75
adventurous mysterious medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Plot
Strong character development: No
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: No

This was a page turner but it felt like there were too many characters and complications to keep track of. Mystery might not be my genre--I loved this author's other books and always enjoy her world building so I couldn't help but wonder if my issues with this book were considered features of the genre rather than bugs. Anyway, I did appreciate getting to ride with an MC with a chronic pain condition and learned a lot about service animals!
