I was often frustrated with The Gathering Storm, but found the setting fascinating and beautiful, and am curious about how Bridges will proceed with her interweaving of history and magic.

These character relationships, which both tug at the heartstrings and provide some infectious moments of lightness, are probably the number one reason that ARCADIA BELL stands out in the field.

I had some issues with Royal Street, but I found Johnson's New Orleans and her supernatural world compelling enough that I will probably read further in the series.

Sagara starts with some of the popular plot tropes, but doesn't take them in the directions you might expect, and the lovable characters and authentic emotion help set the book apart too.

...too many scenes that were repetitive, that could have been left out entirely, or that undermined the mood they were attempting to create.

It's divided into four sections, each of which is very different from the others but interesting in its own way, and the book as a whole doesn't feel anywhere near its 485-page length.
