Rosemary and Rue by Seanan McGuire

2.75

fast-paced

---

Was kind of a disappointment after the expectations set by the author's more recent works, in terms of pacing, character depth, and authorial compassion, and when I saw it was first published in 2009 I was like, oh, that makes a lot of sense! I hear the series gets better and better and I was looking for a light read anyway, so it's not a total write-off, but definitely hoping later books are more thoughtful.
