2021 book 54

 Genevieve Cogman's The Masked City

So I assumed this series was setting up a whole gaslamp London mystery thing, which I'm not particularly into, but instead, in this second volume, the protagonist’s apprentice is kidnapped, and she ends up spending the ENTIRE book in an alternate historical Venice trying to rescue him from fairies. It’s even MORE boring than gaslamp mysteries! I mean there are some fun moments with a drunk fairy girl who wants to seduce heroes, but really, nothing actually happens in this book. I’m going to give this series one more chance, just because I want to get into a series! B.
