Fantastic!!! I loved Moby Dick when I studied it in college. 20 years later this book and its charm, mystery, and wonder left me wanting more about their stories! I wanted to listen again right away to stay immersed in this world with these characters. Wow.

Super cozy mystery. Great characters, if not a bit corny and obvious. Still fun.

My least favorite. I loved the first two books so much and this one fell flat. Boring and so much political messiness.

Very dark and wicked. Enjoyed the light and dark and little pieces throughout. Love a dark retelling.

Some great moments, but pretty flat and predictable. I love Rebecca and this was just another way of telling it.

WHAT THE FUCK?!?!? History is fascinating and more of these stories need to come to the mainstream. Read this to learn something you didn’t in high school!
