The Girl at Midnight

The Girl at Midnight is another YA book that I put a hold on for reasons that are hard to remember. The cover is cool. Is that the reason I chose this?

I'm not very far into it as I started it last night and I didn't go to the gym (treadmill = prime reading). It's a fantasy, where there are bird people and dragon people (not like Mother of Dragons/Game of Thrones stuff). There is a mystery trying to find a firedrake (because of the All Souls Trilogy that starts with Discovery of Witches, I kinda dig firedrakes) and a quasi romance between an orphan and a halfblood. It's all pretty boiler plate. But the world is somewhat interesting.

Fantasy is a hard genre for me. I often pretend that I don't like fantasy, yet I love Harry Potter. And I can't think of a series I'd rather reread than the aforementioned All Souls or Leigh Bardugo's Shadow and Bone. So I CLEARLY read fantasy a lot. But I'm particular about it. Flying people or bird people? Enh, NSM. It's enjoyable so far but I'll have to report back tomorrow when I finish it.
