A turtle race is more entertaining

Rosemary and Rue - Seanan McGuire

This book has some really good things going for it, it has good prose and really good world building but the characters... darn it, they are all so annoying and the pacing is horrible. It's a shame because this series could be very popular if Toby had been more likable, as it stands, being in her headspace is grating and boring.

 

It was hard not finishing this book but I have been struggling with it for months on end picking it up and then dropping it after having read only a few pages.

 

Goodbye book, I'm sorry we couldn't be friends.
