It was enchanting and mystical.  Opal was frustrating throughout the whole book but Arthur and the house really held the story together and we’re very likable.

I loved the House- it's my favorite character. The Alice in Wonderland elements were amazing. I've heard others say the ending was rushed and while it was fast I think it was thorough. This is a book where everything gets wrapped up in a perfect bow at the end so it won't leave you with much mystery.
