Slippery Creatures discussion

[vae]

It's been a week! (and oh what a week it's been)

Let's discuss Slippery Creatures. Here be spoilers in the comments!

Did you love the characters? The world? The plot? Have you read other KJ Charles books that you'd compare it with? Things that are in common with other books? Things that are new? How do you feel about it being the first book of a trilogy and how this one ends taking that into account?

I adored this! I really enjoyed all the characters (and I'm kinda hoping Maisie and Phoebe get together by the end of the trilogy).

It put me in mind of Think of England, although with more emphasis on intrigue. I've been describing it to other people as 'kinda like The 39 Steps, but with queer main characters'.

I think it has a really satisfying ending for Will and Kim - like they aren't together, but they're in a good place with each other. (I'm very happy there wasn't a cliffhanger or contrived conflict)

Maisie and Phoebe are both such great characters! I'm totally shipping them. ^^
