One of my all time favourite books - the simultaneous power and powerlessness the Nella has throughout the story is fascinating - this is a book I've read multiple times and this is still something that fascinates me.

The mystery of the lives of the people surrounding her woven through with the mystery of becoming an adult and the added intrigue of the enigmatic miniaturist makes this such a gorgeous read.

I'm not sure what to say about this one. It seemed the story would've been the same if the miniaturist wasn't even part of it. I enjoyed reading it, but I'm not sure what the point was - what I was supposed to take away from it.

I enjoyed this story despite its darkness and somewhat obscure characters. In fact, that may be the very reason I clung to it as I did. The murky environment and unusual characters kept me entangled in the story. I highly recommend reading the prologue again after finishing the book.
