A review by ivanareadsalot
Running Close to the Wind by Alexandra Rowland
Did not finish book.
I would like to thank Edelweiss and Tordotcom for the opportunity to read and review this ARC.
DNF @37%
What is THIS vibe, precious? Another reviewer on GR mentioned Pratchett and I can def see that, but straight up I did NOT love the colour of magic so it's a vibe I'm definitely not into. I just don't think Rowland is for me. I thought "A Taste of Gold and Iron" was poncy and insipid at best, and "Running Close to the Wind", its weird polar, went hard in the opposite direction with its unrestrained flighty foolishness. I'm just not the intended readership for this type of story, but if you like nonsensical whimsy you'll probably get behind whatever this is.
