2020-2021 Rainbow Awards Honorable Mention: The Dandy Medium
The Dandy Medium by Dez Schwartz
This falls under gothic and gaslamp romance, I think. Both genres I like. There's some lengthy narrations here and there, especially some infodumps at the start of the book, and occasionally some of the wording, phrases, and capitalizations were a tad odd, but these were so minor gripes that I have virtually nothing negative to say. Man, this is such a good damn book. The setting's intriguing but not force-fed to us, the pacing is swift enough to keep interest levels high, and the writing is on-point and still descriptive enough to leave lasting impressions. Though I personally would have loved more sensual scenes between Alfie and Sebastian, I expect more will come in the next installments. Can't wait! As is, this book hits the bulls-eye for me.
