Great addition to the Rivers of London series.

I didn't think I'd like this book that much as I don't have much in common with 13 yo girls. Abigail, as we know is super smart, street wise and driven and I used to think of her as not much more than a side note for younger readers to relate to. it was interesting to have this character fleshed out and hopefully make a more meaningful contribution to future Rivers of London books.

Another splendid instalment

With each book in the series the Rivers of London ‘world’ gains depth and realism even though you know perfectly well it is fiction. Abigail is a great character and thoroughly deserves her own novella. A well written story with a humorous edge to it. One book a year isn’t nearly enough.

Fun short story

Really fun story, a lighter read than some of the books in the Rivers of London series following the main story line of Peter Grant.

The narrator is pleasant to listen to, and having Kobna Holdbrook-Smith do some cameos is really fun.

Fun to read as part of the bigger world of the Rivers of London, but also a good read as a set alone story. Also, good for maybe a slightly younger audience than the other books in this series.

Fantastic romp through Rivers of London

Admission: I’m a huge fan of this series, and devour the books and graphic novels as they appear. Novellas like this only whet my appetite for bigger books, but ... that being said, this is a great adventure in its own right, experienced by Abigail, a previous ’side’ character.
The fact that even minor characters are rich enough in depth and personality to capably support a novella is a huge testament to the author’s skill and the world and people he has created.
In this story, as experienced by the eponymous Abigail, new characters are introduced alongside familiar ones, as the story rolls out, gathering pace and offering new insights into a world that is both familiar and fantastic. It’s a good audiobook and the voice artists have both done a great job playing the myriad roles and personalities in this magical world.

Another beautifully crafted story

Gaining more insight into a great character from the Rivers of London world. And some tanterlising new relationships.

Another piece in the jigsaw ...

Every time I read a ‘Folly’ book, especially these later novellas something else drops into place. This time the understanding of Abigail’s involvement with the foxes and why Noghtingale wouldn’t tell Peter what Abigail had been up to whilst he was away. Fabulous book, narration excellent, the slang used was easily understandable, and the complexities of living with a disabled sibling sensitively covered.
I don’t think it’s a ‘stand alone’. But as I’ve been steeped in the Folly legend for so long, I can’t remember a time before!
More please ...

Great read as a side to the rivers

It's got legs the characters fit well and the story runs well along side the rivers.
