samsundar22 's review for:
Greenglass House
by Kate Milford
That’s a 3.5 rounded down, more reflecting my experience with the story than the story itself. I actually really liked the book, and will probably go ahead with the series. I have a feeling if I re-read this series in the future, this maybe more of a 4 for me.
I felt like there was more potential with the premise than what was delivered. There were definitely parts where I had to find reasons to keep reading, whereas I’d hoped it would be a fully invested quick read when I started.
I’d probably also add that people who know/play/love role player games would have an easier time with the story and find it more fun. You can absolutely read without that but it would probably enhance your experience! I’m quite familiar with the typical table top and camping based RPG and there was still a little bit of a familiarity curve… got comfortable by the time I got to the mid point.
Definitely didn’t fully catch the genre right, and that may have contributed to expectations not being quite met. But it’s a really unique christmassy middle grade story and I loved the quirkiness! Hoping to get the the rest of the series this year!
