brookworm 's review for:

The Girl Who Saved Christmas by Matt Haig

3.0

---

I certainly liked this continuation of Father Christmas's story, but I'm not sure if I liked it as much as the first installment in the series. It was neat having the two narratives (Father Christmas and Amelia) and I also liked that Haig added in a bit of romance for Father Christmas and Mary. I just really didn't enjoy the whole Troll narrative, particularly as the ending of the story. 3/5 for lots of Christmas spirit, world building, adventure, and special appearances by Queen Victoria and Charles Dickens.
