Alvarez does this cool yet weird thing where her tone is fast paced despite the plot being rather slow starting. It does mean I'm flying through this one

Trying to finish this as fast as possible. I'm so sorry to everyone who loves it, the style is appalling to me

So many good ratings, I wasn't expecting that writing... style... at all. This one will need a serious twist for me to get invested.

Really like Kingfisher's retellings but I wish there were more variations in her characters. I agree we need more average (or even less than that) FMC but surely there is more than one type of that character? Overweighted, bland, not so bright spinster with an inferiority complex but a knack for one thing (here, chemistry, elsewhere needlework or not bothering people – yes, I know) is great once or twice, not more
