I just finished Deanna Raybourn's
Dark Enquiry. I mostly loved it. Only mostly because part of the end was pulled almost directly from Tasha Alexander's
Tears of Pearl, which was pretty much shit from cover to cover. Not that I read the whole thing as I couldn't get past the first chapter, and only read the end because of the OCD.
In addition...
having Julia lose the baby AND become barren is total bullshit after making such a BFD about establishing her fertility in the first damned book. I am mildly outraged. And may or may not have sent Deanna Raybourn a FB message (mostly because of the continuity, but also because of the other).
So, yeah.
Now, I go to do the drinky drink.
