pick#Series firsts are hard -- the author has to hook you on the characters AND tell a good story. Greenwood deftly uses the dancer Sasha and the impressionable Dot to help show us Phryne's character, but also as pivotal plot pushers. Phryne is hedonistic, yes, but not just that, and it is ultimately a pleasure to get some insights beyond her roaring 20s persona. The whirlwind sometimes overwhelmed, but overall I'm happy to continue with the series!
pickI finished this chunkster a few days ago. For the most part, I enjoyed it at least as much as Fourth Wing by Rebecca Yarros.
The characters were relatable but some could have been expanded on slightly. As with Fourth Wing, some parts of the plot dragged a bit for me.
Overall, I liked it a lot, but wasn't head over heels in love with it. I certainly liked it well enough to continue reading the series.

Just stumbled upon this book a few days ago and I‘m totally loving it. And the 3rd book Oathbound just came out yesterday. I have some reading to do to catch up. But I don‘t see that a problem.

Now for something completely different! Urban fantasy!
Last week I saw the #BDWAB display at the library. I told one of the librarians that I‘d read two out of three mysteries books I‘d checked out last summer, and she suggested I try a genre I don‘t normally read.
I have absolutely nothing against urban fantasy. It‘s just not a typical genre for me. This was a fun story though, and just like that I have another #series on my list.
While the Christmas/ holiday season is slowly winding down, I've enjoyed the time that I've had to do some reading. I bought Monarch (2nd book) at B&N during the break, not realizing it was a series. Of course, I had to buy the 1st one even though they can be read separately, in my opinion. Grimstone was a decently spicy book that comprised of a captivating narrative. I'm currently reading Monarch.
