Woop! I like the slightly-older Flavia, who is more devious, and still terribly clever. Also, evil cliffhanger.

Even more Series of Unfortunate Events. I'm a sucker for training stories, y'know.

Oh-HO, here we go! Suddenly it's much more A Series of Unfortunate Events and less just Kalle Blomkvist!
Cover of The Sweetness at the Bottom of the Pie.

★★★☆☆
Well, that was fun. I'm not too much of a fan, the rambling style of Flavia's train of thought is annoying, I think. But at the same time it's definitely well-written and just fun to read. I'm looking forward to the next parts.

Still a lot of fun and enjoyable, while being nothing too special.
Cover of The Weed That Strings the Hangman's Bag.

Continues to be lighthearted and utterly enjoyable.
Cover of I Am Half-Sick of Shadows.

Still funny, still thoroughly enjoyable, but … not really more than three stars for me. (This one's about a visiting cinema troupe and a dead actress.)
Cover of Speaking from Among the Bones.

★★★☆☆
The Flavia de Luce books started blurring together before this one, and even series-changing big reveals didn't change that fact. Too much time spent demonstrating sassy storytelling – completely in line with the rest of the series, but increasingly less amusing.
Cover of The Curious Case of the Copper Corpse.

Copper corpses will never not sound like Dorothy Sayers to me.
