Once again, I am surprised at how much I enjoyed this book. No reason for that really, I just find it interesting that I have enjoyed ETS as much as I have.
Another strange, yet good story in the Emily the Strange world (see what I did there?? *nudges with elbow* Eh? Eh?). I found myself giggling out loud quite a lot with this book. Could be that there was more humorous content this time around or it could be that I’ve grown accustomed to Emily and how she navigates the world in her peculiar way. I want to say it’s the former, but I suspect it’s actually a combination of both. Regardless, I loved it.
Written in epistolary style again, we get to enjoy the candid journal entries of Emily as she deals with her latest scheme and subsequent mishap. As in the first book there are doodles, pictures, and such adorning the pages of the book that make reading it even more fun. I really like how well developed our protagonist’s (antagonist’s?) character is. She has very specific interests and proclivities and it makes her memorable and surprisingly, lovable. I am not a cat person myself, but I adore that Emily is. Her relationship with her cats is fun to read about, especially in this book (spoiler free, so I’m not saying why – but you can always contact me if you want to hear it from me). Although I found myself momentarily frustrated with the OtherMe situation, I have to admit, it certainly provided a sufficient amount of conflict to keep me wanting to see how the issue was resolved. I saw it coming, but I really liked the concept (magic system?) behind how Emily managed to duplicate herself – I wont say more in order to avoid spoiling it for anyone, but it was fun seeing how the two Emily’s moved through this story.
For a change of pace, an easy read, a fun read; I definitely recommend stepping into the world of Emily the Strange!… (mer)
