A Little Trickerie by Rosanna Pike
2.0
Quite disappointed with everything about this book. At first I was hooked by the unique voice of the protagonist. It was somewhat endearing in its naivety. But then it made me uncomfortable, 2-4 years later on in the story (30% into the book), because she's supposed to have grown up, but the voice stayed childlike. With the things that were happening, I still thought of her as a child, so it was a bit unpleasant to read.
The plot beats are incredibly predictable but also somehow outlandish, given it's set in the Tudor period. There's an element of found family but character dynamics developed too quickly and conflicts resolved too easily for my taste. The "little trickerie" went on for way too long, I know it's the book title, but it was just getting tedious. Also they're a bunch of idiots, why the heck would you do that.
Sorry for being a grouch.
