#The Midnight Market #aroaessidhe 2024 reads #hm; this is okay. The writing isn't amazing but it's readable.#I thought the two MCs had an interesting dynamic! a nice friendship focus #there’s some good fey moments. and the sea dragon at the end?? and her magic was interesting!#I love how she’s a bit feral and doesn’t understand human culture #Overall a lot of the narrative and choices felt like they just happened because it was plotted that way.#There's various hurdles along the way but there's always an immediate convenient way to solve it #and like…had me questioning why they didn’t make other more obvious choices???#They spend half a day getting a water breathing potion made to cross the river when she has magical sea creatures they could ride??#I will also say the plot is basically let's find all of these criminals and their underground trading and put them all in jail /prison labo #like if they were killing and trading magical creatures or something then sure #but other than her voice being stolen all we really saw was like gambling and illegal trading? damn what are you; cops?#(he basically is a cop. a shame)#I did hear the mc is aroace which is why I read this - I guess it’s word of god because there’s no indication of that in the book.#a friendship focus and no romance is also something I like in a book though; so i guess.#tho idk if i liked it enough for it to be worth that #no romance
