Rosemary and Rue really isn't bad. I can't complain about the writing, the action, the mystery or the protagonist, October "Toby" Daye. But somehow, this book just never got a hold of my interest. I blame the world building ~ there is a lot of background information given. A lot. And frankly Toby Daye isn't all that different from so many other female protagonists found in UF books.

Author Seanan McGuire obviously put quite a bit of thought and time into constructing the world in which Toby lives, and I appreciate that. I just wish the telling and explaining of the world was held back somewhat. Or more scattered throughout the novel. But at this point (page 108 out of 358) I can't help but quote Elvis, "A little less conversation, a little more action please" =) This series may be worth coming back to in the future, but for now I am bored and done with it.
