I almost didn’t read this book, since I was disappointed with her debut, The Lost Apothecary. I’m so glad I chose to read this book. London Seance Society was everything I had hoped Apothecary would be. It was enthralling, suspenseful and it kept me guessing. I couldn’t put it down. even when I could kind of guess what was happening, it really didn’t disappoint.
Immortality was everything I could hope for in a sequel, and the conclusion of a duology. I loved the plot with Hazel and the Princess, and I honestly did not see the conclusion to that story coming. Loved the love story even more in this one. The secret society of immortals was a nice twist. And I loved, loved, LOVED the ending. I could honestly see a series of novellas chronicling their lives.
This book was pretty good. Took me a while to really get into it and read it. I really liked the multiple point of views and the timelines. There were several elements that I liked, in fact, but sometimes it felt like the book was rambling a little, and it felt disjointed at times. But, in the end, I really enjoyed how the stories were interconnected.
My most anticipated book of the year, and I was not let down. What a way to reboot the series. Obviously, the Lassiter and Rahven storyline was the most important, and I loved how it played out. It felt authentic and how I would expect two really superpowered immortal beings to match up. And it was absolutely beautiful. Love my fallen angel. I’m so happy Eddie and Adrian from the Fallen Angels series are back, especially since Devinia is in the mix. The Wrath stuff, I don’t want to say too much, but ripped my heart out and put it back together in the same book. I’m really interested to see where the series goes from here. The time jump is going to really breathe fresh life into it I think. Although, I don’t know if I’m completely on board with all of the Lash stuff.
I read this as an ARC, and you can find my indepth review here.
I also read this as an ARC, my review can be found here.
Beautifully drawn and wonderfully written, I really enjoyed this book, and flew threw it. It made me love the show even more. It was such a faithful adaptation, and I appreciate the casting, which was perfect btw, so much more.
I am really not a poetry person, but boy did I enjoy this. Catullus’ poetry reads like the OG burn book. He holds nothing back and lays out all of his grievances. It’s hilarious. And so, so, so dirty. I recommend everyone read his poems. But get a better translation than I did.
