Still a Good Story
Reviewed: 04-20-23
I started reading this series many years ago as grade schooler when it was still just 3 books. I thought it clever, insightful, and a good adventure then. Listening to it on audible now in my 30s it still checks out and is even better than I remembered. For anyone who was a fan of the hunger games I highly recommend. This series predates them but with a clever and resourceful female protagonist surviving in a post-nuclear-holocaust world where humans have returned to a dark age of religious zealots, there is certainly a little overlap.

For the Gosford Park fans…

I’m a huge fan of Heyer’s regency era works so this was a bit different for me. But once again her masterful characterization and vivid descriptions managed to bring this 1920s era novel to life. If you’re a fan of Gosford Park you’ll love Penhallow.
