A world away from’His Dark Materials’. I really enjoyed this book and loved the bold character of Sally

There was lots of deaths and I recommend this book to anyone who likes murder mysteries. It is based on a ruby.

I loved all the characters in this book because they were all so unique and seem really loyal to all of their friends. The main villain was also perfect and managed to manipulate people in a scarily effective way! The reason I didn't enjoy this book so much was the fact it felt like I was getting a lot of backstory but not a lot of current day events. If there had been more action and less sitting around I think I would have enjoyed it more.
