![]() It’s interesting how content Enid Blyton was to create these single-faceted characters, but where Belinda and Irene’s talents, for example, don’t dominate their personalities, Mavis’s “Voice” is so deeply boring that when she gets her comeuppance, I barely care. Third Year at Malory Towers: This one introduces Bill, one of my favourite characters, and Mavis, one of the most boring. ![]() I do love the first time Gwendoline tries to make friends with a rich person though! The main plotlines are a little too dramatic for my taste, culminating in two girls hanging over a cliffside in a storm. Second Form at Malory Towers: Not one of my favourites. As a kid, I identified so strongly with the ‘good’ girls that I never really noticed, but as an adult it’s definitely noticeable. ![]() General impressions on this reread were that the girls were quite a bit bitchier than I remembered – they can be extremely harsh to the girls they deem ‘not quite right’. ![]() Ownership: I don’t remember a time before owning these! The general gist, however, is that these are brilliant!īook: Malory Towers (Second Form, Third Year, Upper Fourth, In the Fifth, Last Term) by Enid Blyton I thought it might get a tad tedious if I reviewed these all individually, so I’m going to give a quick overview of the rest of the series ( my review of First Term at Malory Towers is here). ![]()
