The Dire Days of Willowweep Manor by Shaenon K. Garrity
3.0
fast-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Plot
Strong character development: Complicated
Loveable characters: Complicated
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

This book is a fun read, but ultimately some of the jokes fall flat.

3 stars

Appeal Terms:
Storyline and Pace: plot-driven and fast-paced
Character: brooding and courageous
Tone: melancholy, offbeat
Writing Style: Banter-filled
Illustration: Cartoony

I think this book was fun and I would definitely read the next one in the series. However, I think I would have preferred this through a different medium, such as a television show. The jokes would have worked a bit better there. You will definitely like this book if you like Gravity Falls with the fun elements of science, humor, and characterization all rolled into one. Overall, I wasn't super impressed but I would be interested to read if there was a sequel.
