Summary by Mogzilla
“There are worse people than me, boy. Much worse.”
Nayuleska's reasons for loving Ludwig...considering all the trouble his father caused, he bears up pretty well under public scrutiny and is resourceful.
How evil/nasty is the enemy? Put it this way, when I saw the enemy, I felt my body go on edge, I wanted to be surrounded by fluffy cushions, lots of chocolate, and felt that if I looked out the window, the enemy would be there.
Are there plenty of plot twists and surprises? It was a book I couldn't second guess what happened next, which was rather fun (although I do like it when my theories prove correct)
One of my favourite parts was...when Ludwig hid a mini HELOT, which became useful later on. It shows he thinks in all shades of grey, not just black and white.
I give this 9/10!
