    The Mysterious Benedict Society and Prisoner's Dilemma:
    Overall Rating - ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ (4/5) or 8.1/10 total.

    Characters - 9
    I live the character interaction in the series! Each of them is so unique individually but together they have such a great dynamic. :)

    Atmosphere - 8
    The main house has a very homey feel while the prison feels well, like a prison, but there isn't as much mention of the buildings as there is of dialogue in this one, I feel.

    Writing - 9
    Trenton Lee Stewart's descriptions are always so on point and enjoyable. The writing is always amazing and flows in a way that makes it fun to read.

    Plot - 7
    Suffice to say, it took forever to get to the main action. This book was a lot more character-based and it showed. The plot was alright but nowhere near the level of the first one.

    Intrigue - 8
    I was thoroughly intrigued as to how most of the problems were going to be solved but some seemed a bit obvious (more of the riddles rather than the fight scenes).

    Logic - 8
    It was pretty logical, but I think some of it could have been fleshed out more to really have the reader understand 100% of the situation, though I'm sure some of that was on purpose to throw in surprises.

    Enjoyment - 8
    I enjoyed it, but not quite as much as the first two. That said, it was still epic, and I will be reading book 4 soon.
