![]() ![]() But the Grand Season has just begun and already Nina’s debut has gone disastrously awry. SUMMARY: They are the Beautiful Ones, Loisail’s most notable socialites, and this spring is Nina’s chance to join their ranks, courtesy of her well-connected cousin and his calculating wife. Many thanks to Ella Patel and Jo Fletcher Books for sending me an ARC of The Beautiful Ones. But once again, I struggled with its execution. Fantasy of manners, combining high society with magic and courtship. This is the third of her books that I’ve read – after Gods of Jade and Shadow and Mexican Gothic – and again, the pitch sounded like something that I’d absolutely love. Silvia Moreno-Garcia’s work is the epitome of books that in theory sound like they’re perfect for me but somehow fail to capture me. ![]()
