Such an odd plot that I had to try it. It's one of those books where I enjoyed the ride, but if you asked me what happened a week after I read it, I could not tell you. 

Despite the plot being slightly convoluted, I absolutely remember how I felt when reading this. The immersion into a steampunk mixed with magic Victorian England felt whimsical and vibrant. I wasn't entirely sold on the romance, but it wasn't distracting either. The whole thing felt like a mysterious adventure and I enjoyed it overall.
