I read cozy and historical mysteries, a bit of Paranormal/UF, and to mix it up, I read science and gardening books on occasion.
Not as good as the first, but definitely as rambling. I listened to the audio, straight from the first book, The Rook and the narrator changed. Moira Quirk does a credible job, but I listened to both too close together not to notice the difference in voices and styles and it was a bit jarring.
I was also disappointed that this story has multiple POVs and very little page time is given over to Myfanwy Thomas, even though the summary would seem to indicate she's the central character. She is not. Mostly this story is told from the POV of a grafter character. Understanding came before acceptance, but once I did accept it, the story was interesting enough to keep me listening.
