A review by zenreadergirl
Of Fate and Phantoms by C.J. Archer

4.0

I really enjoyed this seventh installment in the Ministry of Curiosity novels. The series is coming to a close and so many loose ends are being addressed. Lincoln has now met his mother and Lincoln's father now knows of his existence. This has brought the existence of the ministry under the scrutiny of the crown. This book doesn't necessarily bring resolution to those relationships, but it gives him the possibility of one. If Charlie has her way, it will happen. They have also expanded their family in this book with the addition of Mink and Charlie's old gang. Charlie has also taken Harriet under her wing, against Gilly's wishes. Some big decisions are made in this novel that will impact those in the house and those around.

As a side note, I will say that I still have not warmed up to Alice. She knows that she is leading Seth on and has been very honest about how she feels about him with Charlie. She knows that is causing friction between him and his mother, but she continues on with it anyway. To me, it doesn't paint her in a favorable light.
