Customer Reviews
Rather bland
While the syntax, sentence structure, punctuation (*mostly* British format), use of tense and pronouns is not as bad as the previous 3 books, it is still bad. (FYI: it’s “she and I not her and I,” for example.)
The plot was rather bland, without a discernible climax and the only real hardship or destitution was in the 1st third of the book.
As I have read all this author’s previous books in this series, I found that the plots became weaker and less engaging with each book. I enjoyed #1, T̠h̠e̠ R̠a̠g̠g̠e̠d̠ M̠a̠i̠d̠, so eagerly purchased the succeeding ones.
I believe in giving an author the benefit of the doubt, so I plowed through each one, hoping that 𝒎𝒂𝒚𝒃𝒆 there might be improvement. Number 3, A̠n̠ A̠l̠o̠n̠e̠ a̠n̠d̠ D̠e̠s̠t̠i̠t̠u̠t̠e̠ G̠i̠r̠l̠, was the worst, but there was only the minutest with succeeding volumes.
