Mehso-so

Stop the presses - I actually finished a #bookspin title during the correct month!

This one had all of the elements I like - historical mystery, with a strong female character and some building in the storyline that could lead to a series of books. And yet, this was just so-so for me. Multiple threads in the storyline, with a few not fully defined situations, just left me feeling a little meh by the end. Also, long buildup to things happening.

TheAromaofBooks Yay!! Great progress!! Although I'm sorry it ended up being a meh read! 5y
