This book was unlike any other I’ve read. I do not think I’ve ever read a book about two women adventuring together like this. I was constantly amazed by them and I was beyond delighted by all their growth. 
I found the man stalking them deeply distressing; several times throughout this book I wanted to skip to the end just to see what resolution was given to him. 
But I loved how strong Margery and Enid were. I was rooting for them the whole time.
