I have not read this for a while, but I love this book. It’s one of my comfort trilogies, one that makes me feel warm and fuzzy inside. Once I reread this, I will give a proper review
Edit: I love this book so so much. It’s definitely one of my favourite series ever, and perfect to read with hot chocolate. I flew through this book, loving every moment, the aesthetic of Lundinor, Hobsmatch, Uncommon things. If there’s one world, other than the Grishaverse, that I wished was real, it would be the Uncommon world. I loved it! Everything was so colourful and the descriptions so rich and beautiful.
I like Scratch a lot. He’s such a great side character and I am once again guilty of becoming rather attached to another side character. No regrets. I’m also obsessed with the other bells in this book. The street bells, guard bells, HELLS BELLS. The latter were the best.
The humour in this book was adorable, sweet and so funny. I felt myself smiling multiple times while reading.
I also really enjoyed the plot. I just loved the idea and it makes such a great book.
10/10 recommend.

Like a bit of magic, this book fits the need to escape into the world beneath London, into the very uncommon world of Lundinor. What a clever use of objects becoming rather uncommon things; people often not what they seem; and lots of sibling friendship. I couldn’t wait to find out what was happening next as Ivy and Seb went on this quest to save their parents and learn about their grandmother’s past.

This took a while to get into--I am reading this aloud to my son and the beginning has a bit of a set up. However, once I started listening to the audiobook for myself, I found myself much more engaged. It helped that I really like the narrator.
I really like the premise of this book, similar to Harry Potter, that there is a "magical" world that coexists unknowingly with the regular world. In this case, it isn't really magic, but instead uncommon objects--or objects infused with a spirit that then imbues unique properties.
I am definitely interested in reading more in the series.

This was so good! The only thing is that the rest of the series is not available in the U.S. Oh well, I’m forced to make a Book Depository purchase.

Read- July 2019 for The Book Junkie Trials (The Drowning Deep) and Reading Rush (read an authors first book)
- This was a book that I have wanted to read for such a long time and I don't even know why. I never even knew the plot of the book before I started it but I've just always wanted to read it and now I finally have. I honestly did really enjoy this book (as we all know, a 3 star rating isn't bad) but there was just a few things that felt off to me.
The world building really wasn't great, I found myself getting confused so many times with how the world works. Also the plot was quite confusing and difficult to keep track of at times. However, by the end of the book I felt like I really got to grips with the world and the plot so I'm very excited to jump into the next book because I feel like it will be an easier read.
