Still very confused about this book - it seemed like a good premise but I found it hard to engage with, only half way through the book I started to enjoy it, and even now I have no idea what happened. It doesn’t have any sense of closure or any explanation as to how the miniaturist seemed to have a sense of what was to come, how did she know what miniatures to send, and how did she “pick” people to predict their futures? I guess the book focuses more on Nella’s life but even then I found no real interest. I like an open ending book every now and then but this seemed like too many loose threads. There is a sequel but I have no interest in reading it.
Well-written, interesting tale. Loved how complex the characters are and how their relationships evolved. Slow at times, but a solid read nonetheless.

I was reluctant to indulge this book at first. It was not my usual genre, or style, or anything. Well, apart from the supernatural aspect! But, I tried it, and very soon I was swallowed up with Nella and her new life. Bittersweet, and brilliant!

Great story but not sure where the minaturist actually came into it.

Beautifully written but a couple of things frustrated me, for instance, I could not understand some of the choices made by the characters, and the end left some questions unanswered.
That said, I just noticed there is a second book so will definitely read more of the story.
