A Queer Trade this is the short prequel story in the ‘Rag and Bone’ series which takes place in the same world as the ‘Charm of Magpies’ series. In this book we find out how the main characters meet. One is Apprentice magician Crispin Tredarloe, and the waste paper dealer Ned Hall. The story is told in third person from both MCs povs. 4.5 Stars I’ve read The Magpie Lord and this book pulled me right back into the same world. We find Crispin desperately trying to track down his Master’s old papers. He goes to Ned Hall who does have them, or at least some of them. Things only go downhill from there and we find out that the papers aren’t the worst of it. I had a little more trouble keeping the characters straight in this book than when I read the ‘Magpie Lord.’ In Magpie, the MCs had a much stronger difference in manners and speech but not so much in this story. The pace is good even when Crispin and Ned are only looking for the papers, and the book is a good lead-in to the next story, Rag and Bone. I enjoyed this fast, entertaining read, the only thing is that it was too short. I give A Queer Trade, 4 Stars. Between this: Hall really was rather handsome. It hadn’t quite struck him at first, in the unfamiliarity of looking at a man of colour. He’d noticed brown skin, broad nose, not much more. After three hours of surreptitious glances and casually exchanged words, though, he was seeing deep-set dark brown eyes with creases that suggested Hall laughed a lot, and a bottom lip that dipped in the middle to devastating effect when he smiled. Crispin had always had a weakness for smiles. And: “Well, I mean… the thing is…” Crispin took a step forward. “You said we’d be magnificent, you and me. I wondered if you’d like to see if you were right.” I think it's obvious why I loved this short story. ei arvosteluja | lisää arvostelu
