Rosemary and Rue by Seanan McGuire

My rating: 2 of 5 stars


Changeling in San Francisco is dragged back into faerie business when she’s forced to solve a murder.



I responded tepidly to this book. It had that quality where there’s this whole plot with a mystery and clues and danger, but I was left with the overwhelming impression at any given moment that nothing was happening. Kind of impressive, when you think about it. A whole lot of tell, with a sort of and now we tour all the faerie species vibee



I dunno, I’ll give the series another book, because I have the strong suspicion that I’m the cold fish in this equation at the moment.



Except the heroine's name is still October Day. I don't feel tepid about that. That is not okay.

Rosemary and Rue didn't do much for me either. I did like the second book more and felt it was less tell vs show. I still found it flawed, but reading it was a lot more fun.

Good to know, thanks.
