4 stars--I really liked it.
It's the characters and the writing that keep me interested in these books, not the plot. Like with the last book, the pacing is strange, and Mildmay and Felix seem trapped in loops of self deprecation and anger that are repeated over and over. The plot is a slow burn,...

Normally I wouldn't like a book like this, but The Key to Midnight was just plain amazing. It had everything a book needed; suspense,...
