A cozy read. Maybe reading it at home in the cold weather would have made a better setting than the hot Florida beach. I enjoyed watching Grimalkin pass through the 18th century, but I do wish we could have explored more of each time period. In some ways, the passage of time made me sad, the glorious 7/7 Marchmount Crescent home slowly devolving from a stately manner, and a place of pride to dilapidated student housing in disrepair. I wonder if it is time for a longer read, I find myself reaching for shorter books or "quick wins" only to force myself to read a story that isn't necessarily nurturing or challenging me.

A bit reminiscent of The Midnight Library in its ambition, but substantially more whimsical for having a delightful cat narrator. Ultimately, it offered a premise it couldn't quite deliver on, but an enjoyable listen as an audiobook nevertheless!

I liked the idea, but the book didn’t thrill me! Yawn.

The premise was really interesting, but the plot just didn't deliver. I felt the narrative to be a bit flat, and the way Grimalkin cycled through important historical events felt a bit forced. It could be a bit fun and a bit cute, but in the end, I feel like it was a rather forgettable story.
