Review
At last, a book from the series that did not disappoint as much…
The story per se did not intrigue me, similar to the other books from the series. If I was simply reading the book, I would find it interesting but not enough to warrant a read through the entire series. It has a light pacing, easy to digest and a vanilla note. What made me like this book was its narrator.
Derek Jacobi did a wonderful job in giving the characters of this book life. He was such critical catalyst as to why I enjoyed listening to this audiobook more than I did the others. His work distinctly depicted the personification of the casts. He gave the entire story an adorable tone.
As I reach the end of this series, there’s no other strong feeling than elation. I’m just glad that there was at least one or two books from the series that reached me, although not complete entrancing.
