A review by geldauran
The Golden Specific by S.E. Grove

3.0

3.5 stars. For me, a little bit of middle book syndrome. Between the parallel plots for Sophia and Theo the book somehow managed to feel a bit too slow and altogether too crowded at the same time. The world of the series remains interesting and unique, though some of the concepts introduced in these books, particularly the "old ones" are vague and don't feel quite at home in the lore to me. I'll still eagerly read the next book because the characters and world are still fantastic, this just had some odd spots.
