The Rowan's Stone

Wrote a review for

A good read.

  • The world got a bit of an expansion and we got to know other places, and their situations.
  • This book suffered a bit of the second book syndrome, to me if felt like it dragged a bit more and that it was a lot of setup for the next book.
  • We get a lot more work on the relationships and therefore more time spent with the love interests. That leads to a few personal arguments and such that didn't always feel very well developed for me but it didn't detract from the story too much.
  • The mystery to solve in this book is a bit of the continuation from the previous book but felt less surprising.

Overall still a good book and I'll keep going but not as enthusiastically as the first.

Really enjoyed this one.

  • The writing was good, worldbuilding was nice even if because it's an urban fantasy it doesn't need the same amount of work as a fantasy.
  • The mystery was well done and kept me engaged until the end leaving me wanting to dive into the next book right away.
  • The female character was strong and capable while not being cold and aloof.
  • The male leads had different personalities and strengths. Weren't all out a-holes that controlled and never listened to her.
  • The romance was not too fast even if i thought it could have used a little more building.

Overall a good read that assures my going into the next one.
