I LOVED B&B, L&L was good too, but this one felt like it had a bad case of sequel syndrome. I didn't like that it was just a behind the scenes of Leather & Lark. It felt cheap, almost? It wasn't exciting, wasn't thrilling, wasn't unexpected or twisty or super fun in my opinion. I wanted to DNF but I was already 70% through so I thought I might as well finish it, but I was bored by before the halfway point. I think there could have been a better story to tell and the setup from book 1 and 2 didn't do anything great for book 3. S&S was really limited in that respect.
