I love the story, but still find the chapters way too long... I've been reading the series out loud at bedtimes and the story moves so slowly.. I think he could be more sparing with his words...

I'm trying so hard to finish reading this out loud to the kids but it just draagggggsssss on and on. Meloy just seems too fascinated with his own cute turns of phrase and obtuse ideas that the story is bloated beyond necessity. Same thing happened with Under Wildwood too... But determined to finish this series so keeping on keeping on!!!

This third in the series has been slow going the first half. Things are now starting to heat up so I hope the momentum keeps picking up to a cracker of a finish.
