The Hidden Gallery by Maryrose Wood
3.0
I think that I may have liked this book less than the first one because of the audio book. I wasn't so much a fan. I think it might have been the fact that the narrator made the annoying characters' voices REALLY REALLY ANNOYING. Like annoying to the point where I had to turn down the volume to keep my eardrums from bursting.
Anyway. Too effectively annoying audio book narrator aside, I do really like this series. I love Penelope and I care about her and want to know what happens. It's reminding me a lot of Lemony Snicket in that the author does NOT like to divulge secrets. Not only are the secrets from the first book not solved, but there are a ton MORE secrets and mysteries piled on. I must admit I kind of like the piled on mystery/secret thing, but I think it might annoy some readers?
I do want to keep reading this series. Mostly because Penelope and her charges are so...charming.
