I have absolutely adored this four-book series from Katherine Woodfine. Sophie and Lil and their capable band of associates are all great, well-developed characters and I loved the way they kept popping up throughout the various adventures. The descriptions of Edwardian London and a country house – the food, the clothes, the luxuries – are all rich and vivid in detail. The story is incredibly exciting and I was absolutely racing through the last few chapters to find out what happened at the end.
I was really impressed with how cleverly the whole series had been plotted. The structure reminded me a little of the Harry Potter books: each one on its own was a good story, but there were elements in each book that came together at the end to explain some of the wider mysteries. I would definitely recommend reading these books in order.
I know some of the wider story arcs have been wrapped up now but there are still questions outstanding so I hope this is not the last we see of Sohpie and Lil as I have really enjoyed my time at Sinclair’s! There is potential here for many more adventures and I certainly look forward to reading them.
With thanks to NetGalley and Egmont Publishing for the ARC of The Midnight Peacock.
