Elska Bee reviewed Blood and Moonlight by Erin Beaty
Review of 'Blood and Moonlight' on 'Goodreads'
3 stars
The good stuff:
- original and interesting magic system
- compelling murder mystery
- compassionate mental illness representation
The not so good stuff:
- Flat characters
- Pacing issues
- Difficult to keep track of multiple suspects, especially during the climax
- A romance that felt somewhat forced
If you like this kind of medieval psuedo-French setting, grisly murder mysteries, and have a tolerance for YA cliches, this might be a new favourite. For me it didn't quite land, though the mystery was enough to motivate me to finish it at least.
