i remembered everything from this one as well so even if i can’t remember geometry formulas i can tell you the entire plot of a middle grade historical fiction series about overprivileged kids living in fancy manors with maids and pretty necklaces. i am so so cool 😎😎
and let’s revisit this next time i need an ego books like when i have to take a science test or something. i may suck at that but at least i know the secrets of chatswood and vandermeer manor.
again though, these books are truly fantastic, and i love them so much. so read them to your young cousins or just for yourself as some nice entertainment and a way to get ahead on your reading goal.

-POTENTIAL SPOILERS-
I liked this too! Although it did seem a bit more rushed than the previous one. I liked how Katherine was more soft-spoken and quieter than her twin, although maybe that's why the book felt a bit more faster than before. The mystery was solved way too quickly, and I couldn't predict it, which would've been fine if it moved more slowly but it didn't really.
The book also doesn't explain how the girls' colors switched or how Katherine stayed behind to start the family's branch in America, but perhaps that'll be solved in the last two books.
