It’s about some characters from 1810 that we learned about in the 1st book. This is more of a backstory, but still in the Greenglass House world. I went into this so nervous I wouldn’t like it as much, since it does go a different way. Ok Kate Milford is definitely a new favorite author. These books are just pure, cosy escapism, and I can't wait to dive back into this world😁 I plan on reading Thief Knot and The Raconteur's Commonplace Book (the two latest books set in this universe) during March myself. If you're looking for some reads for Middle Grade March, I couldn't recommend this series enough. What I did love about reading it after the first two, was stumbling upon all the little easter eggs that link these stories together. Yes, this is technically the third book released in the Greenglass House universe, but it is a prequel, and could easily be read as a standalone. Even the bad guys, Trigemine and Blister, were weird and wonderful. I don't want to ruin this book by writing too much about it, but just know that Kate Milford writes such endearing characters.
Not to mention the beautiful illustrations dotted throughout this wonderful middle grade story, made this such a unique experience. The stakes felt so much higher, and the narrative just had that little extra sparkle. Yes, the first two Greenglass House books were fantastic, but this was just dripping in magic and adventure. But when her little brother is kidnapped by two time travelers, she gets more adventure than she bargained for.īluecrowne is my favourite book in this series so far. The only home she's ever known is on her father's ship, and she doesn't care much for life on land it's boring. Much to her dismay, Lucy Bluecrowne is moving into Greenglass House with her stepmother and half brother.
