Shadow Schemes by Tilly Wallace
4.25
adventurous dark mysterious medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Plot
Strong character development: No
Loveable characters: Complicated
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: No

Another quick Kestrel mystery.
The main character is 18 and one month but hardly acts it.
No idea how old any of the other characters are. 
One of main ones from the first two books begins to be pushed away in this story and I'm unsure if I care. Lady Abigail taught Sera how to behave in society but Sera has no interest in doing so, so it is not unnatural for them to grow apart. 
Two new characters, both Unnaturals, are introduced, and the story is tied up on a neat little bow with happiness all around. 
Not sure if I'm going to continue the series because it does not feel like anything really happened in this story.
