I am not sure how I feel about THE BEDLAM STACKS and found myself having to reread to make sure that I understood correctly what I had read. Because of that, this was a very slow read for me. I like how there are elements of supernatural and historical fiction with just enough mystery to get my attention. There is friendship, love, magic, intrigue, and adventure in this novel. I feel that it is slow, but it will grow on you the more you read it.

Natasha Pulley writes with an imagination that is truly remarkable with wonderful descriptions that make the setting so vivid and vibrant. You can close your eyes and see exactly what the author is describing. Pulley has done a lot of research on this time period and it shows within the story. The characters are very well planned out and all have backstories that help to add depth to the story. Since the story is slow going, you get a chance to get attached to the characters and find yourself yearning to know what happens next with them. There is a twist to the story, but I was not surprised by it. Even though I saw it coming, I feel it really added to the overall story. THE BEDLAM STACKS would be a perfect read for a lazy afternoon.
