lighthearted
medium-paced
- Plot- or character-driven? Plot
- Strong character development? It's complicated
- Loveable characters? Yes
- Diverse cast of characters? No
- Flaws of characters a main focus? N/A
That was a fun quick read to get a bit more background of how St. Mary's came to be. Maybe with a bit too much exposition for future stories? [I've stopped giving star ratings in May 2024]

I suppose one needs to have read the actual story to get more out of this one. I assume it answers more questions asked in the books, and doesn't work well as the first book to read in the series :-D
But, I'm interested.

I wish this had been narrated by Zara Ramm instead of Jodi Taylor.

Read after the 1st book
I really enjoyed Book 1 in Jodi Taylor's Chronicles of St. Mary's series. This short story should be read after that first book. The swans, the smell of cabbage and the demise of the clock tower are all here at the beginning where all things start unless you are a St. Mary's historian and then the beginning could be anywhere. Read and enjoy.
