robomachin 's review for:

Nettle & Bone by T. Kingfisher
3.25
adventurous dark hopeful mysterious fast-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: No
Loveable characters: Complicated
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: No

Fantastic first chapters and filled with great ideas (the shoulder puppet!), but the way everything wraps up leaves no room for imagination and wants to make sure that in spite of the main genre subversions, you're getting that happy ever after ending.
