I was honestly rather bored with Broken Homes. Considered DNFing it at one point. There was just a whole lotta nothin’ happening for a good long while in it and… yeah.
I definitely thought the wizard staff making bit was going to be longer and more interesting than it was. The architectural stuff was much longer and more boring. Even what happened with it at the end felt very anticlimactic.
Surprise, there were and are more magic users that Nightingale is/was aware of. Of course there are. This is the most unsurprising surprise. Random people and the Russian Night Witches, who’re no relation to the actual Night Witches. Speaking of, I did actually like Varvara. She was part of the more interesting bits of the story.
The Spring Fair was blah. I’m not sure exactly what I was expecting, but it was a load of nothing. I Did like seeing Beverly again for a minute. It feels like her inclusion is set up for her being more involved in later books.
Speaking of later books… Lesley. I don’t think I can actually say much without spoilers, but… her actions were understandable, I’ll say that much.
So yeah… I wasn’t really a fan of Broken Homes. Hoping the next one is better.
