Another excellent Stranje House tale, a sequel to A School For Unusual Girls. The first book was about an academy for girls who didn't fit into their neat little cubbyholes in Regency England, girls who had "abilities" that scared their families, or who liked to study engineering, or take long runs every morning. Their fed-up families would send them to Miss Stranje's school, known for its strict discipline and draconian measures.What the clueless families didn't realize is Miss Stranje's schoolI love the storyline of this series. I love how girls are made into something other than simpering ladies who talks about dresses. I love how each girls with different personalities are given a chance to shine.BUT as much as I love this, Exile for Dreamers is something of a disappointment. I kinda enjoyed the first book which was narrated by Georgie but this one kinda fell flat for me. Maybe because the heroine annoys me sometimes and the romance between her and the hero is a little bit boring.
I'm enjoying this series. I like how it centers on can do females in a time when they were often held back.
3.5 stars
3.5 stars rounded up I have an unfair fondness for this series that started out with The School for Unusual Girls and for each of the girls of the Stranje House including Miss Stranje herself and even Madam Cho so it was a delight continuing the series in Tess (who played a major role in the first book) POV although I have to admit that I really missed Georgies quirky, light and fun perspective. The plot basically revolves around Tess unique prophetic dreams and how the characters work together
WOW I loved this book!! As I was reading, I debated on giving it 4, or even 3, stars because there were a couple parts that seemed to drag, but after that ending, how could one not give it 5 stars?!? I loved seeing things from Tess's point of view; her character was so well done! I enjoyed all the action and suspense and excitement. It did take a little bit for me to really, really start loving the book, but by the last half/third I could NOT put it down!!!I would also like to comment on the
It is unusual for me to love a book so much and expectantly (and warily) look to book two with the same enthusiasm... Why? Because USUALLY book two in a series doesn't quite live up to the hype and excitement of book one. (Hello, The Empire Strikes Back) Not only was this book better than the first, but it was actually a stronger book in every sense of the word. The storyline was better. The characters, both old and new, were wonderful to see unfold. The romance was slightly up-ed as well, but
