Bluebell Hall

This book felt like a rush job. It would have been much better as a full length novel. Or if not, it should have focused on the two leads instead of trying to give all the girls their own subplot in such a short amount of time. At times I felt like I was reading a summary of a longer book. Also the characters are supposed to be 14-15 but they acted much younger, which was weird. I still enjoyed it as it was cute but it could have been much better.

This was such a cute story! I overall enjoyed it very much. I liked the setting being like Victorian England, with magic, much less racism, and more acceptance of lgb & trans people. I think that there is room for improvement with regard to developing the setting better, since I only gleaned it from the particular class structure of the country where the story takes place. I think that more description of how magic in this world works would also be good, because I wasn't clear on what the rules were. Overall, Bashe tells a very heartwarming story about girls finding friendship and love.
