Historia
Ellingham Academy is a famous private school in Vermont for the brightest thinkers, inventors, and artists. It was founded by Albert Ellingham, an early 20th century tycoon, who wanted to make a wonderful place full of riddles, twisting pathways, and gardens. "A place", he said, "where learning is a game." Shortly after the school opened, his wife and daughter were kidnapped. The only real clue was a mocking riddle listing methods of murder, signed with the frightening pseudonym "Truly, Devious".

The book ends abruptly without resolution
Revisado: 10-03-21
This is a whodunit with TWO mysteries that don't get resolved. I'm so annoyed with the ending. books in a trilogy should resolve a story arc while letting a larger storyline play out over the series. Otherwise what you've got is one third of a story.

Nothing new here
Revisado: 06-06-19
You won't really learn anything new from this book, I was hoping for more memoir and less self help. It's fine, it's pretty much just what you get on the podcast and stories you've already heard.

Excellent Russian Fairytale
Revisado: 11-19-18
This is as usual a great fairytale from Novik but the narrative changes POV often without saying the name of the person speaking or really indicating that anything has changed making it difficult to follow at times. I enjoyed it, but this might be easier to follow in print than audio.

Not a memorable thriller
Revisado: 01-17-18
This book is fine but not particularlty outstanding. Not bad exactly, just ok. Not at the the top of my 'Everyone I know must read this 2018' pile.

I've seen this book described as M15 for wizards but I think it might be more X-Men for bureaucrats. That said, I really loved it and found it highly entertaining. Can't wait for the next book.

Nothing Unexpected
Revisado: 05-19-16
This book contains all the tropes that every other one of these books contains. There are no plot twists that you don't see coming hours beforehand. It was...fine I guess...but I feel like I've read this book before several times already. If you're in the mood for something comfortable, familiar and with no surprises it's not bad.

Disappointingly slow story that just stops halfway through.
Revisado: 01-10-16
This book finishes abruptly around the halfway point, just as the exposition starts to catch up with all of the heavy handed foreshadowing. It's an interesting premise that could have been done better if the two stories intertwined and dovetailed but instead the whole first book is just setting up for the action in the second book. Not the fast paced, action packed listen that the blurb implied.

What would have made Rebel Belle better?
This is basically Buffy season one fan fiction with less endearing characters and witty banter.
