Not quite what I expected, but good. A little dark.

Kind of boring. Also, not a flattering portrait of Austen. May be true to character (I’ve not read her letters to Cassandra), but not very likeable.

The author is trying to copy Austen’s writing style, but it feels forced and stiff to me.

Delightful. Like getting back together with good friends.

Better than book one

Broccoli! Irids!

Really enjoying it

Picks up right where Fourth Wing left off.

The crew just had a one-of-a-kind day.

Pieces of this novel really grip me, but overall, I go up and down on it.

Life is never quite how we plan it to be, even when the plan is an adventure

I’m now officially hooked. Billy and Ulysses did the trick. Had been growing, but it’s definite now.

A little slow to get going so far, but enjoyable. Unusual main characters.

First two stories are delightful. Flowing prose with a dash of humor.

Enjoying this. Not as much as The Paris Apartment, but it’s still very good.

I figured out the spy early on, but doesn’t stop the flow of the story. I suspect that was intentional.

Violet and George are great heroines.

Cassian is awesome. Nesta is evolving, but I still am not a fan.

Slowly pulls you into the mystery and the lives of this small colonial community. Really enjoying it.

Unique and very good.

Interesting to be in the Pacific (Philippines) instead of Europe where I think nearly all the women’s voices WWII historical fiction I’ve read has been set. Definitely paints the picture of what they went through. Not sure the endearing tie of friendship was solidly woven before it being tested. Worth reading, but can’t say I’m immersed.

Is much more engaging now. Getting character stories and personalities. Much less over the top humor. They do practice “killing” each other a lot though

I’m trying this again.

Don’t know why only the audio version shows up. Am reading the actual book. Unique style. Good so far.

A fun escape

So much fun with great characters.

This is very sarcastic and silly. Just not what I’m in the mood for right NEI. Will try it again later.

War! And twists!

Enjoying seeing how the characters evolve and the build up to the war.

War is coming!
