My Review:
Oh boy! There is so much going on in this, and then the ending just leaves us hanging! I reiterate that this is a series where the books MUST be read in order.
I absolutely love Emma's quick wit and humor. I love her interactions with her found family. Emma takes a temporary job, and thankfully, it is only temporary! That stinkin' Uncle Argus Fard was awful, and I can't imagine Emma having to stay in that environment. I know if her "family" heard about the situation, there would be Trouble.
Can we go back to the ending?! Why!!!!! That is not who I am rooting for for Emma! He does have redeeming qualities, but ugh, not the one I want for her. I am not sure if we will be okay 😂

Synopsis (Goodreads):
"There is bedlam, and there is delightful bedlam.
This afternoon touched on the second, much to my pleasure."
The
Year is 1884 and Emma M. Lion has, at long last, gained her majority.
Entering a golden age of friendship with Pierce, Islington, and Hawkes,
Emma is confident she will manage whatever comes her way. It is The
Season she must help Arabella secure a husband, while navigating the
threat of Aunt Eugenia, the unflagging adoration of Charles Goddard, and
the amusing unpredictability of St. Crispian’s. But the secrets of her
trusted friends are what might very well bring about disaster.
Emma
M. Lion offers up her Unselected Journals, however self-incriminating
they may be. Armed with wit and a sideways amusement, Emma documents the
curious realities of her life at Lapis Lazuli House.
Only two more books to go and then you'll be where I am: bereft and desperate for the next installment. ;D I really do love these books and all the characters in them.
ReplyDeleteLark, it is a series where you keep wanting more!!! I am so sad I am almost finished with them! I have to figure out when book 9 comes out so I can go ahead and preorder it.
