Hmmm. I don't think I agree.

"What are you so glum about today?" Ruth asked. "I'm fine." She threw me a skeptical frown. "No one who's fine ever says they're fine."

I still had no idea how Laszlo had gotten away from me. I'd gone back to the Japanese Building and had circled it a dozen times, but the only way Laszlo and his assistant could've escaped without me seeing was if they'd sprouted wings and learned to fly. Luckily, Ruth had fared better with the butterfly, whose name was Jessamy Valentine. She'd learned that Jessamy had started out doing housecleaning and cooking for the magician before being asked to assist him in the show. Ruth even managed to find out where Laszlo lived. Ruth had told me the whole story while wearing the biggest grin I'd ever seen. I had a feeling Ruth and I had both gotten something we'd wanted

StoryDragon reviewed Warden by Delyth Angharad
Lovely book
4 stars
I liked reading Warden. It is quite gentle and lightly written and there is humour! Delyth also uses a lot of nice words in this novella.
There were some words that I have never read before and actually I really love that. There were so much delightful words! I mean, I do not often come across a work where the word 'gaol' is used, so I love it when I see it being used. It might seem old-fashioned, but that is what I like about it.
I really liked the writing style of this novella!
