Decided to start this series as a nostalgia read- this was always my least favourite in the series as a child and I stand by it. The plot is simple enough and while there is a lot of character and charm I find Gracie to be a little boring and I dislike that her and Marcus are just instantly friends. Other than that it's a decent read, and I find the world to be interesting enough.
