Lucy Bluecrowne has been raised on a schooner. Personally I liked Milford’s “Boneshaker” and “The Broken Lands” a lot more.Bluecrowne: A Greenglass House StoryBy Kate Milfordįans of Greenglass House rejoice! Kate Milford gives us some Greenglass House history in Bluecrowne. If you were a huge fan of the rest of the Greenglass House novels you will probably enjoy this one as well. I did not enjoy all the discussion about sailing (I have never been fond of books that talk a lot about boats). I did enjoy the discussion about fireworks and how they work. It was a fairly quick read, but I wasn’t very excited about it and had trouble staying engaged in the story. The story takes awhile to get going and is very predictable. It was a pretty simple story and I didn’t really like it all that much. Lucy and her brother try to make a home in Greenglass House with their mother previous to this Lucy had spent all her life at sea with her father. This book is about the history of Greenglass House and follows Lucy’s story. This book could be read as a stand alone and isn’t completely dependent on the previous books in the series. This book was better than the Ghosts of Greenglass House but I still didn’t love it.

I really enjoyed a lot of Milford’s earlier books, thought Greenglass House was okay, but didn’t finish the Ghosts of Greenglass House. This is the 3rd book in the Greenglass House series and the 2nd in the Arcana series.
