Ghosts of Greenglass House

Another comfort reread from Milford. I think the reviews that complain this one is more of the same are a bit unfair – a lot of the same elements from GGH appear, but there is a subtle change and growth in Milo that Milford aptly portrays through his creating a new role-playing character. The details about the latter were a little unbelievable, but maybe kids who are really into RPG do imagine themselves into the part so thoroughly? Anyway, in the context of the story I was fine with it.

Marzana was an intriguing character who could have played more of a role. It's good that she got her own book (The Thief Knot) and I hope we'll still see more of her, maybe together with Milo. I also enjoyed the lore and tradition around the Waits.

I'm going to stop now with Milford as I don't feel in the mood for the darker ones I have not yet read, The Boneshaker and The Broken Lands – but I'll get to them eventually.

This is one of my favorite places in the world. I'm so glad I got to go back and visit Greenglass House again. The mystery this time is more complicated. I figured parts of it out early, but other parts were surprising. That's a good mix. We get more history of the area. It is secretive and wonderful. These two books make me feel better just by holding them. I am so in love with these!
