"Falcon and McAdam"

This was an interesting book set in the 18th-century about surgeons and mysteries. This book would definitely not be my first choice of book but I am glad for the change. Certainly not for the faint hearted.

Warning - while the book has a satisfactory ending for the hero it sets up the next book at the end with a cliffhanger.

3/5 quick read. Needed a break from nonfiction/heavier stuff so stole this from my mom’s house. Apparently there’s a sequel to this and I may or may not read it idk

I absolutely adored this book. Tense, fast-paced and incredibly fascinating!

deadest book ever but I loved Ezra

I liked this book a lot, it’s a great romp for YA readers and wonderfully written, a great diverse read. I love the natural formation of the trio who I hope will get up to many more adventures!

I did think the mystery was a little flat, but the characters more than made up for it!

Very rushed book I found, things just sort of happened with not a lot of information. And the last chapter/couple of pages jumped from November to March and summarised what had happened in between in a couple of sentences.
Not my favourite, had to read for work, but I wouldn’t recommend! Would be good for year 6/year 7 I would say. The historical side was good, the speech and how Ezra was treated, but the actual story took a long time to get going and was actually quite boring.

Ooooooo, gripping and gory! Very good!
