Oh this book started off so mellow but about 20% in things get tense, things get twisted. I thought the schoolmaster was bad but I think this is worse...more evil. It is easy to peice parts together but you are barely ahead of the characters for a lot of it. And if you think it is obvious early on, think again. Never were my ideas far off but until the last couple chapters they weren't spot on either. And even then, pieces are still just beginning to fall into place. Sophie. A lot of growth in her character still so self-centered it is eye-roll worthy. Hort- I wanted more of him. Agatha needed to step up more. I really thought she would put more together sooner. Tedros needs to be repeatedly smacked upside the head. I liked them bringing more characters to like and showing how happily ever after is never as the storybooks portray after the last page. I LOVE the narrator Polly Lee SOOO much! I am not a big audiobook fan but she is like listening to a theater production with the different voices, style of speech, highs and lows! Wow!
