Clara Poole and the Long Way Round
Taylor Tyng
@muellerspace Clara Poole and the Long Way Round by Taylor Tyng, The Sinister Secrets of Singe by Sean Ferrell, and The Winterton Deception: Final Word by Janet Sumner Johnson if you’re in the market for any MG series starters. I’m pretty biased about all of them.
