Review: That potent alchemy by Tess Bowery

Grace is supposed to be genderfluid and is not wearing men’s clothes as a disguise. But most of the time it felt exactly that way.

Oh wow. And I’m not meaning the good ‘oh wow’.

I loved how many supernatural creatures there were and how each species interacted with the others.

Okay, I kinda lied. I did have feelings. Negative feelings, mainly annoyance.

Anyway. I really dreaded reading, so I didn’t read for three whole days. Even though the writing itself is not horrible or anything.

The way she struggles and how she gets stronger and stronger is really well-written. Bonus points for the slow building friendship and romance.

Sadly (in this case) there was plot, too.

I vented a little on twitter about this novel, that should tell you enough.

I didn’t feel any connection between them and suddenly they are having sex.

I liked how disgusting some things were as well. A horror novel by this author would be a lot of fun, I’d say.
