Rosemary and Rue by Seanan McGuire

4.0

To start off, Seanan McGuire also writes under the name Mira Grant (Feed, and Deadline) so I was excited to see what she could do with the world of Faerie. I was not disappointed. She put her own spin on the internal workings and politics of Faerie and those differences drove the plot along well.

I loved the variety of characters and for that matter creatures, especially Tybalt the King of Cats. It's nice when authors remember that the Faerie world doesn't just contain Elves but also Selkies, Kitsune, Trolls, and Undine. I found the way Faerie dealt with changelings to be very intriguing and it added more tension between Toby and other members of Faerie.

I thought that the mystery aspect of Rosemary and Rue was well-handled and the twist came as a surprise to me. I loved how all the details came together.

Rosemary and Rue was a fun read and I'm definitely looking forward to reading the rest of the series. If you are looking to add more Urban Fantasy to your life, definitely give Rosemary and Rue a try.
