A good start does not lead to a coherent middle or end.

115. The Death of Jane Lawrence – Caitlin Starling

At the beginning I thought this had so much promise. I was excited about the heroine who wanted to marry for business reasons and was suddenly helping with the practice of medicine and doing more learning like math-Jane Eyre becoming a doctor…and then…she ended up obsessed with the possibility of actually falling in lust with her husband and forgot herself entirely to deal with his ghosts and his unsuccessful magic and circles and we were twirling, twirling, twirling towards whatever.

 

Horace and Ozma are about to start their ritual twirling. Peregrine, to the left, is totally done with that sort of thing.
