Surprise

I picked up this book knowing that the series was starting on Netflix. I did not expect to be sucked in and unable to put the book down until I finished three days later nor did I expect to then go out and purchase the rest of the series based solely on the stories and writing of the first book. it is a relatively easy read but still full of interesting characters and stories and I'm looking forward to seeing them fleshed out further.

Absolutely beautiful!

Absolutely beautifully written book! Not my usual go to read but after hearing reviews via a book club, I thought I'd give it a go. Wow! I dont think I've even read such a vivid book. Every description, it was as if I could open my eyes and be a part of the story. Truly wonderful and one I'll keep hold of forever so I can return for a visit whenever I like.

Strange setting

Try hard

Hmmm....

This was not the book for me unfortunately. I found the main character Flavia very unbelievable. She was wise beyond her years and seemed to flirt with older men at the age of 12. I felt like this tried to mirror some of Arthur Conan Doyle's writing but just really missed the mark (for me). The plot was quite obvious aswell. Surprised that it has some considerable accolades.

(Sorry, I hate leaving bad reviews)
