Restless Truth | Freya Marske
5 posts | 2 read | 11 to read
Magic! Murder! Shipboard romance! The second entry in Freya Marske's beloved The Last Binding trilogy, the queer historical fantasy series that began with A Marvellous Light The most interesting things in Maud Blyth's life have happened to her brother Robin, but she's ready to join any cause, especially if it involves magical secrets that may threaten the whole of the British Isles. Bound for New York on the R.M.S. Lyric, she's ready for an adventure. What she actually finds is a dead body, a disrespectful parrot, and a beautiful stranger in Violet Debenham, who is everything--a magician, an actress, a scandal--Maud has been trained to fear and has learned to desire. Surrounded by the open sea and a ship full of loathsome, aristocratic suspects, they must solve a murder and untangle a conspiracy that began generations before them.

I loved this follow up to A Marvellous Light even if it did take me longer to get into. Maud Blythe searches for the second piece of the Contract on a White Star Line ship after the woman guarding it is murdered. Along with a scandalous heiress, Lord Hawthorn, and a thief, she'll have to find the item without attracting the attention of murderous magicians. I think the next book might follow Hawthorn & Ross which would be a real treat.

bookandbedandtea I haven't convinced myself to read this yet. I don't want to focus on new characters, I want more Robin and Edwin! 2y
rachelsbrittain @bookandbedandtea I can definitely understand that! Robin and Edwin are adorable. I did really enjoy this one once I got into it, for what it's worth. 2y
peanutnine @bookandbedandtea same. I loved Robin and Edwin and will miss them! But I can't wait to get back into this world, the magical system is so unique and interesting 2y

I've been up since 3am traveling to Montana for a library conference. I planned on reading this on the plane, but I also had a low grade migraine today, so no reading. But after eating and drinking a bunch of water, I'm feeling better and plan to read until I can't keep my eyes open. Which probably won't be long.
