I'll say the same thing about all three books in this series. They're fast reads, highly entertaining and connect so smoothly. Kat might seem a tad irritating at times, but her sharp mind, curiosity and perseverance combine to make her a formidable force. Her sisters are quite interesting as well, but both with completely different and distinct personalities. All three a joy to read. ( )

I enjoyed this book. I live near Bath, and have visited often, so I knew all the places that were featured.

The book inspired me to create this Etsy treasury, using things that I found on the site that could be linked to the story:

For some reason the words “regency romp” come to mind, with a precocious 12 year old leading the way. Magic spells and society misunderstandings are the trademark of this series. Highly entertaining to those of us who enjoy Patricia C. Wrede’ s Sorcery and Cecelia series. ( )

enjoyable romp, a lot of silliness,some good historical background

a pleasurable light read ( )

If I could, I would give it 3.5 stars because the plot picked up a bit here. Kat had more of a personality and showed a bit more emotion that wasn't just anti-stepmother. Also liked Lucy and Charles and Papa. Still lacks an original voice. . . maybe my problem is that I read it at the same time that I was reading some of the most unique things on the planet. :D


However, I probably will read the sequel. But three is all I can do with this cast. ( )
