6/8/2023 0 Comments The mystery at the lilac![]() ![]() After that interesting scene, Nancy gets caught up in servant problems. I liked the opening scene in which Nancy meets Emily outside Lilac Inn and has lunch with her. I have never liked the original text of Lilac Inn, so as I began reading the original text this time, I wondered what my reaction would be. Perhaps the difference is that this particular story was almost completely rewritten whereas the first three revised text stories were mainly condensed versions of the original texts, which made those stories come across as inferior. The story seemed fuller to me than the revised texts of the first three books. In fact, I enjoyed this reading so much that I almost felt like I was reading one of the longer original text stories. I have always greatly enjoyed the revised text of Lilac Inn, and this time was no exception. The mystery is intriguing in all aspects. The jewel theft is quite a mystery, with suspicion thrown on Maud Potter. The mystery about Nancy's double is sinister. Once I reached Chapter 3, I began enjoying the story. ![]() The events seem disjointed and thrown together. A few pages later, a mysterious cry is heard from outside. Next, one of the gardeners falls into a hole. ![]() The girls arrive at Lilac Inn to see that Emily is troubled. Then, on the very next page, their canoe capsizes. ![]() The book barely begins when Nancy and Helen learn about Nancy having a double. ![]()

It did take Lev some time to grow on me since he was what was called a Tithe, someone born to be unwound, and he was very stubborn about listening to people who didn’t believe in it. I enjoyed all three main characters and a lot of the minor characters. We got the POVs from the main three characters but also POVs from other characters, sometimes they would remain nameless but the scene through their eyes was important. There was a smart use of advertisements throughout the book for unwinding, things you would see on a billboard or in the subway, giving stories of people who’d been saved or found peace because of unwinding. It was dark and disturbing but I thought the world was so well done and it really intrigued me. It was the same reason I kept putting off other series I ended up loving so I finally gave it a try and, yes, I loved it. The first book in the series, I originally kept putting this one off because the concept disturbed me. The three main characters are all set to be unwound for different reasons but when their paths cross, they find themselves on the run and just trying to survive. It’s a dystopian series set in a future where parents have the option of Unwinding their troubled teens.
