One Fell Sweep

I really enjoy these books. Small, Fun, Simple. scratch that, less simple but great. it strikes the perfect balance between being easy to understand and having new complications from the magic or the characters that never feels off or completly out of nowhere

This story progressed the plot but asked a couple of important questions near the end that really make me excited

This book started with a couple of False starts in that i thought the book was going to be about X and then it wasn't. But it was good, it kept me engaged and I like the path of the book.First Maud and her Daughter. I did call that she would fall in "love" with Arland and that they would go together. I felt proud of calling that. but that was an easy shot. Helen her daughter was super adorable in every scene.The Hiru and Draziru. I kinda thought that something like it was going to happen, but i was really impressed with the decisions made in the book and the way it went.Dina. surviving the death of the Inn. wowow. just amazing a representation of grief that is real. Her getting together with Sean Evans. Finally. love it. Also who is SEBASTION NORTH is it the CAT, Is it a Coincedence. what is the Innkeepers council going to say? What really happened to her parents. TELL ME!!
I will be talking about it on Libromancy 07/04/2021 https://libromancy.podbean.com/

This entry into the Innkeeper Chronicles is definitely my favorite so far. A lot happens throughout the course of the novel, a lot of action, a lot of character development, a lot of world building as a whole. The general plot is an alien species is being hunted to extinction by another alien species. The hunted species asks for help from an Inn to find their new home via a complicated process. It's easier to just read the book than have me explain, I promise.

On the romance side of things, Sean and Dina's relationship grows into something amazing.

Basically, One Fell Sweep was a whirlwind of fun and adventure and I'm looking forward to the next!

3.5 stars

Another unique installment in The Innkeeper series. As in the past books, I enjoyed reading about the characters and learning more about Dina's family. The plot was pretty interesting and I always appreciate that Dina's Inn is the focus of the interstellar setting. It lends a cozy vibe to the series and provides a layer of reassurance that no matter how kooky the plot becomes, the book always has a focal point.

I don't think the writing was above average, however. It did the world building justice but lacked in other, mundane areas, like transitions, character communication and pacing.

Part Star Trek Next Generation, part Sherlock Holmes, this series is pretty magical. Dina Demille is Captain Picard with an edge. She's strong, she's witty, she's kind, and she knows what she wants - and the troubles and tribulations she gets involved in speak to greater world conflicts in a way that's humorous, poignant, and so very human. It's also an absolute pleasure to read - I don't remember the last time I cared about the characters so much and not experienced a crazy amount of angst. I'm now also an avid follower of Andrews' blog that posts chapters of this series weekly, and the next installment focuses on Maud. Color me intrigued and very occupied during my lunchbreak. 5 shining galactic stars!

I want to live at Gertrude Hunt! I love Dina, I love Sean, and I love everything about this story.
