The Restless Truth by Freya Marske.
Thank you Netgallery UK and Tor publishing for a ARC for an unbiased review.
I'm a sucker for historical style fiction. Especially if it is in the style of Georgette Heyer, because we were brought up with her books all around us.
I'm a sucker for LGBTQIA books, because my husband and myself are both LGBTQIA.
I'm a sucker for fantasy style books. Because ..... you get the picture.
I also adored the first of these books, A Marvellous Light. So I was excited to read this and it didn't disappoint.
This is a different set of main characters, but still very much in the same World that A Marvellous Light was set.
Do you need to have read A Marvellous Light? I'd say you should, because even though this could stand alone, in my opinion you'd be missing out.
While, for example, Maud Blyth is a character we know from the 1st book, (as are others) some are new, but they make just as much of an impact.
This book has it all in spades. Fun, mystery, mayhem, and a Marvellous (ahem) sapphic love interest.
I adored Maud in this. How she came into her own was a joy to read.
The magic element was as engaging as the 1st book. The mystery perhaps marginally less so, but it didn't detract for me at all, because it had so much going for it.
This is a book where I'd not only recommend is read by others, I'd happily gift it! It deserves to be seen by as wide a readership as possible.
5/5 stars 🌟
