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!
