No Rest for the Wicked by Phoebe Darqueling
3.0
So, I knew this was the first book in a series before I read it, but I didn't realise it was one of those series where each book isn't a stand-alone story. I find that immensely frustrating.
The book starts strong – good characters, good writing – but lost steam for me as it went along. There are a few irritating typos ("arm and arm" instead of "arm in arm", "heals" instead of "heels" etc), and the main character gets whiny and stroppy in a way that isn't endearing.
Not sure I'll be back for book two, although I'm not discounting it completely.
