Great to be diving back into the twins story and great to read a fun adventure between dark thrillers!

It’s been a while since I read the last book so I was a little confused at the beginning but I managed to suss things out.

Maudie and Arthur are great characters because they’re very different characters but they still mould together as a family. I enjoy that they’re their own people and not just ‘twins’. They are constantly surprising me in what the do, which makes me smile.

Hardy’s world is magical and quite easy to visualise.

There were parts of this where I found myself a little bored and drifting slightly but overall I enjoyed this book and the adventure the twins went on. The conclusion makes me think another storm may be coming? I can’t wait!

This was good. There was a small part I found lacking but overall I was impressed.
