I decided to read this cos both my mum and little brother said they liked it. An unusual consensus 😝
It was a very comfy read. While obviously written for a much younger audience, it managed to hit that balance of simplicity without being braindead and therefore enjoyable as an adult reader.
I was a little surprised how easily the bad blood between Will and Horace was settled, but it wasn’t a bad thing. It made sense in hindsight as this is very much a set-up novel.
Feels to me that the series will follow the five orphans as they grow up. I love series that do that, so hoping this is the case 😊
