The Second Spy by Jacqueline West
4.0
4/5 stars
This series never fails to impress me! Every book is just as good as the last and nostalgia definitely bumps it up in terms of enjoyment and rating (for me at least). This plot line might be my favorite out of these first three and I enjoyed the whole 'double agent' thing even if I could've seen it coming. I love the friendship between Rutherford and Olive and between Leopold, Harvey, Horatio and Olive. I also hadn't really thought about it before now but I love the art! Yeah the cover is awesome, but also the black and white drawings in the middle of the book are super cool too and sometimes it reminds me of what I'm actually supposed to be imagining in my head. I also, as always, adore the magic in this series. Name another book with talking cats, magic paintings, and people trapped in them? I'll wait. Anyways still super cool and I'd still highly recommend. :)
