Finished it at the weekend and started on the first of her Glass series. Which is going a bit slower as I left my reader at home today (
) and had too much else to do yesterday.
As for the Study series...
It was a fun read - light and uncomplicated. The protagonist could be a bit slow on the uptake at times (at one point I wanted to shake her for being so blind), but on the other hand neither she nor any of the other characters were prone to being unbelievably knowledgable (which made the chocolate incident more fun).
There was one thing that niggled at me, and occasionally kicked me out of the rythym of reading, and that was the country names. It wasn't so much that she had appropriated the names of real towns to name her countries after, but that they didn't really fit the countries.
