Leigh Bardugo is so good at historical, I hope she writes more! She is starting to write the same sort of characters though, often her side characters are much more interesting. This is the case for The Familiar - there's so many historical references, interesting views on history and characters that I wish we could have explored a lot more than the romance.

Not a lot I can say without spoiling everything.

I was delighted by the mystery though troubled by the darkness of the world and some of the terrible characters. I'm still so excited by the way Turton can surprise me.

His plotting is so so good and his prose is improving with each book he writes, can't wait to see what's next.
