Review Detail

Reader reviewed by c-alexis

I don't want to say that I disliked the book, but I think that I went into reading it with too-high expectations from all the reviews I read. Overall, the book was interesting and fun to read. I like the presentation of a magical side to the story while portraying the lives of the girls of the Victorian age. For a time when women who still seen as pawns and inferior to men, it is nice to read about a heroine who tries to find a way for herself instead of following the pack. The heroine's group of friends are too flighty to be trusted though, and I feel as if she's made the wrong friends and that may lead to a conflict in the plot. I would definitely continue to read the series though.
