The Familiar by Leigh Bardugo
3.0
I am so sad about this book as I was LOVING it at the start, and I was exited to read an adult Leigh Bardugo fantasy. Sadly despite this being classified as Adult, and I would agree based on some of the more explicit scenes in here, there's also something very decidedly YA about this.
Very predictable plot and a surface level romance aren't necessarily bad, however there were genuine interesting more mature ideas here, but with one foot in either of the Adult and YA doors, The Familiar fails to play on the strengths of either genre.
Leigh Bardugo is still a fantastic writer, so I still mildly enjoyed it.
