Joanna’s Reviews > The Shadow Sister > Status Update

Is star a child? She acts like a big child. And she assumes the worst in everyone. And she’s very mad at this biological mother without even hearing her out. Jumping to conclusions. Grow up star.

I truly love Orlando. “We shall be inundated with the written word!” Paraphrased but I actually chuckled at that. He’s so genuine and enthusiastic. Best character in these books so far, though I also like Rory and mouse.

Stop using Beatrix Potter as a mouthpiece for the patriarchy. And LOL Archie feeling guilt? I think he’s unable to feel guilt or shame. He showed up wiht your dead sister’s letter your sister that DIED giving birth to his child talking about how he’s always loved you and calling you princess. Please, I really can’t stand Archie and flora

I find it genuinely distasteful how Flora’s story is turning out. Aurelia asking her to raise her own daughter with Archie? What the fuck? Not only is that nonsensical but WOW flora really never has to shoulder any blame huh. And Archie is here flirting calling her princess? I’m so fucking ticked

I prefer present day in this book, maybe if Beatrix potter shows up again I’ll feel better…

Why the FUCK are now star and cece narrated with this horrific french “accent”?! They weren’t narrated like this in the rest of the book??? Oh how I wish my book was here. What the fuck is this. How could they think this was okay to publish lol.

Yes let her have it Aurelia !!!!

Sooooo flora is the kings bastard?? And one of the girls (can’t keep them apart sorryyyy) is a lesbian? That’s terrific for me.

Kinda love how dramatic Orlando is and I get him, not his precious bookshop… also mouse gets a bad rep but he’s been very decent so far. And evidently cares a lot about Orlando. Is she going to sell the figurine to save the bookshop?

Am I supposed to feel bad for flora? Why the fuck is she lying and coercing Aurelia into accepting Archie’s proposal?? The only one I feel bad for here is Aurelia !
