Nope. Officially bailed on this one. Read to about 50% and was forcing myself to read further every time I picked it up. The only interesting thing that happened was very early where Kate (or was it Cecelia? They are basically the same) one of the writing protagonists, stumbles into a strange room where a wizard tries to kill her with poisoned chocolate thinking she was someone in disguise. Ok great. Nothing else happens.

I loved the premise and the letter writing 2 authors but there was no meat to the story. And sorry,
But at 50% into the book, SOMETHING should have happened. The two girls were almost the same - each has evil aunt. Each has a nemesis they actually like. Each comes from money, etc... it was honestly as boring as reading notes passed between two 10 year olds "what r u doing this weekend?" " I dunno what r u doing?" "I might go out dancing. Do you like dancing?" "I do but I'm a horrible dancer".
...
Except write it all "British " and add lots of tea.

People apparently will love it.
