2019 Reading Challenge- Read a book you stumbled upon.
*3.5 stars*
For a book I just happened upon in the store, I was pleasantly surprised at what I found! I thought this was a fun and unique story, definitely unlike anything else I've ever read. It does have some similar vibes to the Series of Unfortunate Events series- a dark tale surrounding orphans. The story is a little slow to start but I found that the story picks up after the first 1/3 or so. It definitely won't be a story for everyone, it is dark and a little simple but I had a good time reading this and I would have enjoyed this as a kid. I wish the book had had a little more to it (like maybe an extra 25 pages or so) so that certain events would have been more fleshed out but otherwise I quite liked this!
