I loved Ibbotson's middle grade fantasy when I was a kid, and I remember being so excited to find one of her adult books at the library as a teenager. But when I tried to read it, it didn't resonate with me for some reason, and I never finished it. I picked up Madensky Square (again at a library) because I felt maybe I hadn't been fair to her adult writing when I was younger, and having now read this in approximately three sittings, I can say that I certainly was unfair. I loved this and can't wait to read more of her books.
