A review by elfeeza
The Order of the Owls by Elisa Puricelli Guerra
5.0
I love the whole feel of this book. The writing was lovely, the story was entertaining, the characters were loveable - can we talk about the adorable and optimistic Minerva, the clever and adventure-loving Thomasina, and don't forget our brave and gentlemanly Ravi; he even got the perfect Indian hero last name, "Kapoor".
I love this book so much, I want more. It's filled with mystery, adventure and magic even. Oh don't forget the Lizard Manor. That house itself feels like it is a character on its own. The charming little town by the sea, other side characters with names like Archibald and Lady Annabella and the illustrations give this book a gothic feel...the light strawberry fluffy type of feel...a little dark with a tinge of lightness. I'm not very familiar with gothic literature but I have had some discussions with my literature friends and read a couple of references to catch a some of the tell-tale signs of the gothic genre setup. I might be wrong. But the book gave me that vibe.
I recommend this book to anyone who likes adventure and mystery with a tiny sprinkle of magic. I had fun reading it for sure.
