Loved the first book in this series. Then, I was a little disappointed in the second book and thus was apprehensive about this third installment. However, this book brought it home. Total comfort read.
Really satisfying ending to a wonderful series.
Reading Vlog & Review: https://youtu.be/7liyecJA_y8I refuse to accept that this series is over. Vehemently.I adore these characters so much. They are my family and live in my heart always.I did not care for this book any where NEAR as much as I loved the first two. This wasn't centered around gothic literature and more about Egyptian and Greek gods. Which is all well and good but not what I signed up for. I was very confused on those elements of the book.It was a bit of a let down. But I still l...
'Finally, they realised they were the monsters.'And that's The Extraordinary Adventures of the Athena Club trilogy over. I'm sad because I enjoyed it so much and didn't want it to end. I want more and if Theodora Goss ever announced she was writing more, it would make my year. Such a unique cast of characters and an intriguing plot that kept me engaged from start to finish. The third and final instalment was a mixture of Alice's Adventures In Wonderland and The Mummy (1999), set in Victorian Eng...
Someone recently asked me if I liked these books and I replied, "Book 1 was great, Book 2 was way too long, and Book 3 was pretty good". That really sums it up. The end.No, really, it does seem like Goss took feedback from book 2 (way too long, too many repetitive character interruptions, too many new characters) and tried to fix these for the finale of this trilogy. The length was much more reasonable, we only met a couple of new characters, and the character comments definitely felt toned down...
Disappointing. Too many characters; it was hard to keep them all straight (and it hasn't been that long since I read the previous one.) Slow-moving; I remember coming to the halfway point and thinking "ARE WE THERE YET." Diana is still so annoying I just wish someone would slap her silly, but Alice is awesome!
The third - and so far final - book in the Extraordinary Adventures of the Athena Club series involved ancient Egyptian magic, Sherlock Holmes and a plot to bring down the monarchy and I throughly enjoyed it! These books are fun, fast paced and full of heart and I’d really recommend them! I’d also recommend the audiobooks - read by Kate Redding - as she does a fabulous job of bringing the story to life.
Forget the League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, because now we have The Athena Club. I guess we could call it the League of Monstrous Gentlewomen. Another of the feminist versions of the Victorian time period with plenty of girl power (although the main characters do get justifiably huffy about being called girls when they are full grown women).Even the female villains outsmart their male counterparts in this particular volume. The women of the Athena Club may sometimes doubt their abilities, but
The Diana and Mary Comedy Hour is back, and instead of wandering all over Europe, like they did in book two, the Athena Club has plenty to do in London. Sherlock is missing, Alice is kidnapped, and the young women have much detecting to do to find both individuals. While I found book two of this trilogy a little too long, I didn't find that the plot dragged this time around. In fact, I found myself laughing more at Diana's antics (insulting everyone else and stuffing her face with nummies) and e...
