4.0

This was my first outing with Kingfisher, and I think it was overall successful. The voice of the main character is really strong and initially gave me pause; However, I quickly grew to love Mouse and the friends that she made along the way and found myself deeply invested in the mystery of the twisted ones and the green book. The last 50 pages or so got a little weird, and it didn't totally stick the landing, but it's good enough that I could see myself rereading it, and I definitely will be reading more from Kingfisher in the future.
