A beautiful kit with thoughtful flourish
This kit transforms the Bookshop set into a cozy urban scene, with every little and big light source illuminated and additional lights added for flourish. The green accents and lantern of the bookshop, the illuminated garden of the residence next door, the exterior lights - everything here adds to that warm and welcoming atmosphere. As with all of these kits, there are a few things you might want to customize for yourself: I found that the overhead lighting in the buildings' upper floors detracted from the ambiance, so I disconnected them in favor of the interior lamps that were already lit. Some of the instructions' wire hiding methods are also a bit quizzical, so you might want to adapt them as you go.
My primary complaint for this set is that it renders the basement more or less inaccessible. No wireless connectors are provided for the basement, which is otherwise occupied by a mass of wires and a massive connector. I understand why the designers did this, but it feels like a cop out compared to the rest of the kit - and it also goes against the vision of the set that let us open up to the basement. Other than that, this is a great kit!
