" A fun read, though it did take me about a third of the way in to get into it. I was expecting the sequel to be really similar to the first book so I liked that the author had the mystery twist in it. I'm tempted to give it 4 stars because I found myself really enjoying it toward the end, but then there were a few things here and there that bothered me. Like some of the main character's reactions to situations she found herself in and some situations that were pretty unbelievable (some of the things previous reviewers mentioned). I like Shannon Hale's writing style in general and I liked the main character, so i'm kind of torn. I realize it's not meant to be some serious murder story, so in the end those things didn't bother me too much. Anyway, cute book. "
