I’m a bit torn over this book. I really liked it, but I’m confused by what happened.
The world building is fairly weak. I learned more about the world in the blurb here than the book. That said, I did like the world. The steampunk feel was awesome.
But things move so slow,y in this book. Then they change at the drop of a hat. And so much is not told. It’s hidden and books like that frustrate me. I like to know what’s going on.
Still, I did like this book, confusing as it is. I like Ophelia, particularly at the end of the book. I would’ve liked to have seen more romance with Thorn. I think it’s heading there, but again, so slowly.
I’m intrigued to read the rest of the series and will be continuing.
