The actual plot of these books is interesting, but Lucy doesn't feel like a real character despite being the narrator. She adds no personality to her narration at all, and much of the time it feels like she is more of a neutral observer in the plot rather than an active participant. I will probably continue with the series, but I wish Lucy's head was more interesting to be in.

it's interesting to see the minute or explicit divergences that the show made from this book (compared to the first book in the series)... i think i generally appreciate the changes they made to increase tension/enhance the internal conflict george is experiencing post-exposure to the bone glass

Lockwood steals my heart again. Lucy and George were especially amazing in this book. It was a tad slow here and there but the climax and the general mystery of the miror and the skull made up for it
