Well written, with characters impossible to not get attached to. It's been a hot minute since I've read this series, and it's still as fun as I remembered.

This was good and honestly surprisingly complex in story and character arcs for a children’s book. It was pretty dark for a children’s book, too. The sheer number of times animal cruelty was mentioned or described was quite disturbing. I’m glad I didn’t read this in my childhood.
Elenor was undoubtedly the MVP. 
Still, I don’t see myself continuing with the rest of the series.

Though I didn’t expect to like the book as much I did, given that I’ve read a few other series with a very similar premise (“Pages and Co.”, by Anna James, and “Story Thieves”, by James Riley, to name two), i surprised myself by enjoying this book very much, and i even plan on reading the sequel soon! (I also now realize that “Inkheart”, is one of the blueprints for the stories i’ve mentioned above lol)
