Very readable. Still no more is given away about the actual miniaturist, but the exploration of gendered and racial oppression was interesting, and I liked that it was more about family than relationships.

I did enjoy this, but not as much as the first one. I do agree with comments that it definitely wasn’t as gripping, it kind of skated along at its own pace.
I did find Thea slightly annoying, and found I was still rooting for Nella more as this went along. Definitely an interesting take on continuing the story, but it didn’t quite live up to the first one.
