The Familiar

Thanks to the publisher and Libro.fm for the alc!

I am a sucker for historical fantasy, especially if there's a weird little romance going on. This book was set in a fascinating albeit terrifying era, and I thought Bardugo's historical detail was really well done. I also really liked how she handled the magical elements of the story. Most of the characters were interesting (but not all). I might have had better success in reading this one instead of listening, because I found my attention wandering fairly often. Overall I found it enjoyable, but it didn't knock me over like I wanted it to.
