The pace of the story felt slow in comparison to a lot of what I read. I actually would have appreciated spending more time with her and hope for more exposure to her when I pick up the original book in the series (Threadneedle). Winnie was a brilliant authority figure/moral guide weaving in and out of the story. The author writes well from a teenage point of view, as I totally bought in to her perspective of life in the small village she was sent to for the summer. She was warm, but had just the right amount of teenage angst to make her rounded as a protagonist. I was intrigued and it got me thinking, but I never felt threatened or scared by any of it great for the young adult audience that I think the book was intended for. I really enjoyed the mystery of the story, it just the right level for me as I don't normally read this type of book. It didn't matter though, it read great as a short stand-alone story. I grabbed this from the library on a whim, not realising it was part of a series. ![]()
