pickThis is only my second foray into the flintlock fantasy genre and despite my reservations I find I'm kind of enjoying it? The magic systems in this one are intriguing but a lot of this is taken up by worldbuilding. There's a political theme but I cared more about finding out how the magic systems worked. I am curious how the rest of this series will go but not in an I have to find out immediately sort of way.
Narrated in 1st person, present tense from 2 POVs; Raina & Alexus. There's supposed to be sexual tension between them but I'm not really feeling it. Starting part II of IV
pickA young music student is killed & her attacker vanishes from a room with only one exit which is covered by an armed police officer. He couldn't have left without being seen, but when they manage to get inside, the killer is gone. The evidence points to a killer who is a skilled illusionist, escapologist, & quick change artist, as he manages to stay ahead of Rhyme & Sachs. (continued)
There's so many! Apple picking, hot chocolate, a stew in the crock pot, apple cider, chicken soup.

pickA dual POV dark-ish romantasy. Engaging and fast-paced, a pretty sweet romance. Mild spice. Interesting but shaky world building, somewhat uncertain magical system. Some resolutions didn‘t need to be spelled out, but oh well. Overall enjoyable let‘s see how the second book goes.
Incoming rant: questioning humanity when brother tells me that a customer says something along the lines of, “No wonder there was a shooting, when you can't fill a prescription on time“ JFC. Thankfully this particular beam of sunshine was banned. *Note, there's a 24 hour location literally 15 minutes away.It costs *so* little to be decent to one another, yet seems to be the biggest struggle for some.
