I remember loving this book as a teenager and I still enjoyed it as an adult, though I'm certain nostalgia played a part.

I love the adventure and mystery in the story. The characters are fun and make me smile. Jem is my favorite.

As an adult I do find the romance a bit unbelievable and shallow, especially the triangle aspects. But the characters are teenagers and who of us has love figured out at 16 and 17 years old.

I'm pleased that I don't remember the books very well and the twists in the mystery of Mortmain still hold some suspense. I'm looking forward to finishing the trilogy.
