Week 43 Review: Fumiko and the Finicky Nestmate, Pimiko and the Uncharted Island

From Goodreads:

She could make a mess of everything. Especially him.

The Junzi—also known as the Four Gentlemen—are a set of ancient weapons fashioned from remnants. Dragons refer to them as the Four Storms, and Hisoka Twineshaft believes they will make a difference in the hunt for the rogue. But someone else is interested in gathering up these crystal masterpieces. The so-called Gentleman Bandit is responsible for two thefts already, and Hisoka is concerned for the Bamboo Stave. So he deploys an elite taskforce to guard the treasure. And to catch a thief.

Juuyu Farroost and his teammates regroup at a safehouse tucked under the boughs of one of the oldest—and most heavily fortified—orphan trees in the Americas. Fumiko and her tree twin have enough rooms for all of them. If they can shift enough of the woman's clutter to set up their equipment. Juuyu's expertise is essential to the success of their mission, but he can barely focus thanks to Fumiko, her messes, and Akira, who apparently owes Boon a favor. 

From Goodreads:

He leads an elite taskforce. She did, too. On television.

After the finale of her dazzlingly successful television drama, Pim Moonprowl packs her bags and books passage to a secretive resort that makes alluring claims. She'll pay anything, promise anything, do anything to find out if they're true. On an island that's not on maps, Pim encounters a silver-tongued doctor, a kindred soul, a caged star, and a clever monkey. This is her big chance to put into practice the skills she gained from eight seasons on an elite taskforce.

Boon can almost taste his prey, he's that close. If only he hadn't run up against a barrier in the middle of the ocean. He puts out a call and calls in a favor. There's a plan in place, and reinforcements are en route, but Boon is restless to run the Rogue to ground. Taking a risk—definitely his style—lands him with a couple of responsibilities he really didn't need, and both of them are female.

My first review of Fumiko and the Finicky Nestmate
My Review:
Well I loved reading these books! I love this series so much, and I'm really glad that I've read the novella series, because it's really playing a big part in espcailly Pimiko, and I had such a great time reading them both!

The thing about Fumiko, why didn't Juuyu go and talk to the group that were overseeing Fumiko and Zuzu about her method of remembrance, of tracking her linage. He was pretty upset about it, so why didn't he talk to them? 

Pimiko had so much going on. There were a couple of groups of perspectives, there was Pimiko, Elara and Boon, there was Akria and Jacques, and there was Hisoka. They were all coming to the island, and they had similar and intertwining goals, but oh, it was such a wild ride! 

We learned so much! Like how Hisoka knows so much. And this is the penultimate book int he series, a lot went down, with the various Impressions that were held captive. And we get a resolution to Churlish's story, yeah! And we got to meet Rhomiko! I am still a bit confused as to how the Rogue family is connected, and the Hightip sisters weren't taken down, but I can't wait to see it all resolved! 

Loved reading these books, and I can't wait to read the final book!
