The first in particular was very good fun, like reading Pride and Prejudice with a touch of magic. (Okay, so the language is not that sophisticated, this is YA, but) Very well done and a firm 4/5. The second was good, but it felt a little slow. Somewhere around 3.5/5. It was still enough fun that I jumped straight into the third book, set 10 years after the first two. Despite what seemed a slightly awkward plot, overly explained at the end, I had fun with this last book too. It lacked the novelty value of the first but I'm still giving it 4/5.
I wonder if it was my recommendation? If so, I'm glad you liked them too.
