Review: Useless Magic

My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Prompt - A book written by a musician (fiction or nonfiction): Florence Welch of Florence + the Machine

I make songs to tie people to me, with a ribbon of fantasy around their necks. Such a beautiful bow that I hold in my fist. And will not let go.

Short and lyrical. Literally. The book was full of her song lyrics. While I wish it held more of her poetry, I can see from her drawings, doodles, notes, and the way she sings that she puts all of herself into her art. I feel, like I usually do when listening to her music, that I understand her a little more. That she's given us another piece of herself.

And I still think that The End of Love is one of the most beautiful songs ever written.

Once upon a time, Modern Millie travelled back in time and did a bunch of things that were not possible for women during the Victorian era. Along the way, she met an android disguised as a human that could slice and dice and speak every language. He also had a superpower: to annoy this particular reader to the point of pain. Literal pain, mind you. I rolled my eyes so hard and often that I gave myself a headache. Together, they set out to alternately annoy and bore the shit out of me, as it was also her superpower; and solve a murder that I, myself, solved before 40% of the book had been read. Unfortunately, they survived to annoy and angst me into...
