The Raconteur's Commonplace Book

I have enjoyed all the “Greenglass House” books that I've read so far. The hook of this one is that it's the book Milo is reading in the first GGH book; at first it seems a loose connection of travelers' tales, but then it gains complexity as we discover more about the tellers through and between their tales. The weaving together of an overall narrative out of disparate materials is nicely done, although I didn't understand some references and wonder if they come from other works (am I supposed to know who Maisie is?)

The Raconteur's Commonplace Book
Overall Rating: ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ (4/5) or 8.14/10 overall

Characters - 8
Incredibly interesting characters from various backgrounds and professions

Atmosphere - 9
I was able to visualize the different settings of the mini-stories and the main story overall. The details were enough to flesh out the worlds of the stories but not overbearing. :)

Writing - 8
Vibrant and interesting

Plot - 8
A incredible blending of the stories within the story to bring details to light about the characters in the main story

Intrigue - 9
Kept me on my toes and wondering where the main story was heading the whole time

Logic - 7
Mystifying but a little unrealistic, though I suppose that might be the point

Enjoyment - 8
An amazing book, a bit hard to follow at points but enjoyable nonetheless. :)
