I really enjoyed Castaways so I was looking forward to picking up another Clarke but I was so disappointed!

What I loved?
She built six distinctive characters, all flawed, all with secrets & took them to a gorgeous Greek villa I was intrigued to see what happened next.

What I didn't?
... basically everything that happened next! Absurd is the word that springs to mind. I won't do spoilers but 🙄🙄🙄

Call of the Penguins

2.0

I absolutely adored Away with the Penguins so had very high hopes for the sequel...
Sadly, it really didn't meet my expectations there were lots of big issues in the plot but I felt none where adequately given closure or discussion.
My favourite characters were Daisy & of course the penguins!
