The main mystery here is how I ended up with this book. I have no recollection of why I bought it, but perhaps I saw some glowing reviews and gave it a shot? I’m always on the lookout for some well-written mysteries.
I mean, just the name — Seraphina Nova Glass — should have been a sufficient clue that this was going to be awful. And it is! I couldn’t even get through the first chapter. The writing is clunky and odd (I think she’s going for “cute” and not getting it quite right). And it’s got that “so much drama” thing going on with several conflicts per scene etc etc.
