6/1/2023 0 Comments The clockwork scarab series![]() I have to admit when I finished the book I did feel a little like 'what was the point in reading that?' The ending did seem disappointing since the girls actually don't manage to catch the criminal which seemed a bit pointless. ![]() The plot was a bit all over the place too. I understand that this is a book about family and the girls trying to keep up the family name but the referencing didn't have to happen all the time. One of them was that both of them, Mina especially, kept referencing their famous relatives and compared themselves to them. I feel like I'm ranting about the characters but there were a few things that I just didn't like. I did like Evaline's fierceness in her personality and Mina's curiousity about things. Maybe it's just because I am in my mid twenties and the kind of swooning that happens within the book gets on my nerves more than it would have done maybe if I'd been a teenager. I also found the girls to be rather annoying when it came to them being around boys and men. It seemed pretty pointless to me when they could have been working together rather than being petty towards one another. ![]() ![]() However, I didn't really understand the rivalry between Evaline and Mina. The fact that two famous families, both fictional and non-fictional, have to come together through the women in the family is intriguing. ![]()
