mayetra 's review for:
Rosemary and Rue
by Seanan McGuire
This book is not:
A romance novel pretending to be an urban fantasy.
A young adult novel.
You won't find alpha males declaring the lead female is "mine". You won't find the obligatory love triangle.
This book is:
A really good urban fantasy story. The female lead is flawed. She is not a Mary Sue with amazing powers who everyone loves. The people who do love her have a solid reason & history for doing so. She makes more enemies in this than friends.
I loved the world building in this story. It was just enough to move the story along and keep you informed with how the world worked, without being pages upon pages of info dumping.
Fey stories are tough for me. Either the Fey end up being so alien that they take away from the story or they end up being to blah and boring. The Fey/mythos is this story found a nice middle ground.
Overall, a really good book if you are looking for an urban fantasy that doesn't revolve around a main plot of romance.
