#86 Without a Summer by Mary Robinette Kowal

I started reading this almost as soon as I finished book 2.  This one has more to do with England's political climate at home and Jane offering Melody to come to London to search for eligible men. Both treads get woven tightly together during the book and I like that Jane does misstep and isn't perfect. How she deals with the missteps during the story really show you she is a product of her time. Really enjoyed it and hoping for more.

#87 Ironskin by Tina Connolly

Cross Beauty and Beast with Jane Eyre and toss in a war with the Fey and you have the setting for this book. The Fey parts keep it interesting and the history of the war with the Fey slowly unfolds during the course of the book and how society became dependent on them before the war and how they are dealing with the loss of Fey magic. What I liked as well was a peek into the Dwarven culture and I hope this gets expanded more in the next book.

#88 His Lordship Possessed (Disenchanted & Co. Book 1, Part #2) by Lynn Viehl

I still like the setting for this book and there is so much that can be done with it but the solution to make a HEA ending was a complete deus ex machina that irked me to no end.  It made me wonder if the author had completely written herself in a corner and that was the only way out. As much as I liked the setting the ending just left a bad taste in my mouth.
