littleseal's review against another edition
This book wasn't bad, but there was times that I wanted it to be over sooner than it was. I felt the book both dragged on and was too quick, which I know makes no sense. Isabel regardless is a pretty good character, and her aunt de Vere is great.

This book made me feel so independent and brave when I was 10 and read it for the first time. I still can see that in the story! I 100% enjoyed this as an adult, and I’m surprised if my 10-year-old self understood everything that was going on in the story for the level it was written at. A wholesome book by American Girl Company; I wish they’d explore other cultures more like they did with the Girls of Many Lands series!

More of a 3.5. I loved the glimpse into Isabel's world and this period in history, but I felt like some of the time skips glossed over things I was really interested in reading more about. Unfortunate that this happened, but overall an enjoyable, quick, read.

First of multi author series describing life for different girls in different time periods from different countries, looked good, and was easy to read, but was pretty forgettable in content and not that interesting over all.
