DNF a few chapters in. I'm sad about this one - the premise is cool and I really want to know more about the magic, but I'm having the hardest time with the writing. Somehow the sentences never seem to go where I'm expecting and I have to stop and reread multiple times within a single paragraph to actually understand what the author is describing. I'm sure it's a great book for the right reader, but I am definitely not that reader.

A little bit ridiculous, highly entertaining, and quite funny. I love Mrs Polifax's attitude and resourcefulness - this is a spy novel I can get behind!
I was a little bit hesitant to read this book since I tend to prefer the writing in newer books, but despite it's age it was easy and quick to read. Some elements are dated, of course, but nothing too bad.
