Females can be introverted and autistic too The rise of more female main protagonists, not just in movies, but also in literature has begun and this masterpiece is a prime example of it. I like that the main protagonist idealizes MINT, especially chemistry with its forensic potential, and is so smart in comparison with her stereotypical, superficial barby doll sisters.
Prodigy protagonists deliver high quality puns The sarcasm and extremely wise world view of the first person characterization gives a unique and intense insight into the thinkings and feelings of an outstanding intelligent girl. In many literary cases, such talents are mixed with deficits in reading others mimic, feelings and intentions, but Flavia is brilliant in each regard, even in social regards. Although one could also see it as trips into sociopathic lands.
A good chemistry of genre elements No matter if one likes irony, characters reflecting and overanalyzing anything, a fine crime plot or just a very well written young adult novel with a memorable lead character, this series has something for each group. And the stronger focus on characters than on action and fast plotting is a great alternative in a genre filled with blockbuster magic overkills.
