Of all small handful of Molly the Maid books, I think I might’ve enjoyed this one the most! It was a lighthearted holiday story and dare I say Molly might be growing on me?

I spent the majority of this book internally screaming “JUST TALK TO EACH OTHER!!” The only reason I didn’t do that aloud was so I didn’t disturb my husband who consistently expresses he’ll never understand why I choose to read these books. 🫠

This was oddly more thought provoking than I anticipated. There were lots of relevant-to-life concepts about knowledge, acquiring it, and using it. The fiction got a little too philosophically real at times. 🤣
The first 50% felt terribly slow. The early setting was simple and easy to understand. Normally, yes, the early exposition in fantasy makes sense, but not so much here. There’s dust and books- not difficult to wrap your head around.
The POV changes right as things are getting interesting in one POV were also jarring. It felt like watching an episode with a cliffhanger at the end- “but wait, there’s more!” That formula works well for visual media but was annoying to read.
Ironically, but very relevant- having a lot of knowledge didn’t seem to do anyone much good. Also, I really want a Mechanism.

It was really interesting to hear about the early years of Alex and Edward van Halen and the beginnings of the band and tells us a lot about people who just wanted to make great music and be creative. Alex reminds us- it was a VERY different time! Alex told us the story in a very straight path, chronological order. Easy to read and understand. There was clearly a lot of focus on family and their connection throughout their years.
