Together, they must use all their knowledge and magic to uncover the thief!


Personal Thoughts

I read this book on my Kindle as my night read, so to be honest, I wasn't too invested in it because I mostly read it when I was tired. However, I really enjoy this series and the characters. The plot was very intriguing, and I was constantly curious about what would happen! I don't usually read fantasy and magic books, but The Grand Tour was a great book to read from those genres.


The Grand Tour Book Rating

★★★★☆ (4/5) stars

I would have given this book 3.75 stars, but I love the style in which the story was told, so! Of the books I have read, few are told in diary and letter format. With this series, I have realized that I love this type of writing. The plot is well structured, and the characters are well developed. I love the old type setting! I really enjoyed the ending, and I can't wait to read the third and final book!


Favorite Quotes

"To do everything is difficult, indeed, impossible. To do everything possible is a very different thing."

"I think some people are lucky to be so fond of a place they're going back to. But it's not lucky if they let that blind them to the place they find themselves."
