Lady Eve's Last Con by Rebecca Fraimow
5.0
Thank you NetGalley and Rebellion Publishing for providing me with this ARC.
What a delight this was!
I was hooked from the first page and loved every second of it. When I wasn't reading it, all I thought about was picking it up again and finishing it.
Everything about this book was perfect for me. The characters were likeable and fleshed out.
The flirting and the slow-burn romance was everything I wanted.
The world was super interesting. It wasn't super dense but it was fleshed out enough that it was easy for me to picture everything.
And of course, the plot was a lot of fun. The pacing was well done and kept my interest the whole time.
It's usually hard to pull off this blend of genres, but this perfectly balanced it all in my opinion.
I can't say that I read anything like it before, and I can't wait to yell about it to other people.

Did not finish book. Stopped at 19%.

The biggest problem with this book in my opinion is the pacing. Things happen very quickly and we immediately move on to the next thing. The action holds no weight because there's no time to think about what happened because we have to keep going.
This affects the characters as well. It's difficult to connect with the characters when we're not given the time to sit with their difficult choices. Things that are supposed to have emotional weight just fall flat.
After almost 100 pages, I realized I didn't care about any aspect of this book and decided to DNF.
