francesmthompson 's review for:

Confounding Oaths by Alexis Hall
4.0
funny lighthearted mysterious tense medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Complicated
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: Complicated

Adored Mortal Follies so was so excited for this and while I did enjoy it, it's far from what I would call a romance. The majority of the plot is focused on the magical and mystical goings on across a number of characters and the two so-called main characters and their romance often took a backseat. But I still had a blast and will never hate an Alexis Hall book. 

Also the narration by Nneka Okoye was absolutely perfection. Possibly my favourite audiobook performance of the year.
