The Red Monarch by Bella Ellis

3.0

I am still intrigued by this series of the bronte sisters solving mysteries and think it’s a fun concept. I just find it hard to get into. The characters in this story are ok…. But their quirks and characteristics make it incredibly hard for me to enjoy, like it sympathise with. I am not one hundred percent sure if the real brontes were anything like as preachy, stuck up and a bit too modern I just found them awful. I also did not believe that they would ever travel to London and the scenes there I am sorry to say were probably the worst in (my opinion) in this series. For me to place the brontes in London is like placing a zebra in the sea it doesn’t work.
If you love the Brontes and their works I think you would enjoy this more, I am quite disappointed that the characters are too lost to modern sensibilities. This has put me off wanting to know anything more about them.
