A lot of folks found Unseelie Brothers Ltd. a bit predictable, and they are right. The tale unfolds from the title and the initial setting. I did find the fashion descriptions fun, and it was gripping to read even if you knew what was coming. Maybe a twist in that it has a happier ending than many stories of the Fae. I liked it and am glad I got to read it. It got nominated for a lot of awards--solid execution counts for a lot.
