This book felt very easy to follow along with and intriguing so I wanted to keep reading. It helped that I have been to Edinburgh before so knew what the streets and castle were like. The MC felt very real.

I was hooked by this book, I finished it the day I bought it. I feel it falls on the younger side of middle-grade, but I still would recommend it to anybody looking for a quick, easy read. I would've liked to see more character development, especially for Lara, but overall a very good book, which I immediately bought the rest of the series!
