Garth Nix, Newt’s Emerald
Book #141 of 2019:
Newt’s Emerald by Garth Nix
A lightweight Regency romp with a sprinkling of fantasy elements. I’d like to see more of how the magic works — especially coming from Sabriel author Garth Nix — but that fuzziness doesn’t get in the way of the quick-paced story Nix is telling. His tale of a young heiress who dresses as a boy to recover a stolen talisman is trope-filled but charming, and although I doubt it will prove memorable in the long run, it was an entertaining morning’s read.

Newt’s Emerald - Garth Nix
Newt has just turned 18. She is excited to inherent her family's Emerald. But when the stone goes missing, Newt dons a disguise and set out to find it herself.
I am still not sure how I feel about this book. I really love the author, the world he created and his writing style. But I couldn’t connect to any of these characters.
