Rezension zu "A Restless Truth (The Last Binding, 2)" von Freya Marske
Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for providing me with a free review copy of this book.
A Marvellous Light was one of my favourite reads last year so I was incredibly excited for this sequel. And it was fun! I liked the first part better but this one was still a very engaging murder mystery with sn enchanting dash of magic.
What I really liked was that there was a broad recap of the first book woven into the story at the beginning of the book. That was very useful.
I always like a good murder mystery and this one did not only have a great setting but provided awhole host of interesting subjects and a satisfying conclusion.
The charackters are also very colourful and interesting, a mix of people we knew already and new faces.
Unfortunately I was not blown away by the romancce between Maud and Violet so this one did not reach teh levels of the first one for me. I am also just personally not a big fan of sex scenes in books. They were my least favourite thing in the first book and it felt like this one was even more explicit. But that is just a personal preference and not a real criticism of the book. I also felt like the magical aspect of the world came a bit to short here, I hope we'll see more of it again in the next one.
Still, a very solid read and I can't wait for the next one!
PS: I absolutely adored the epilogue, I just love Robin and Edwin.
