Midnight Never Come by Marie Brennan

3.0

As a Renaissance literature scholar, I really appreciated the research that went into this book. So often with historical fiction, it can just miss the mark, which completely throws me off. Brennan did an absolutely wonderful job of transporting me to Elizabethan London, and making me feel like I was in on the early modern joke. However, I feel like if I was not such a fan of the Renaissance, I would have rated this book lower. While the language is absolutely beautiful, I found it hard to really connect to the characters. At times, I didn't particularly care about them specifically, but cared more so about the world in which it was situated. If you are a fan of the Elizabethan period I 100% recommend giving this a read, but it not, it is a 2.5 star book.
