One note: I think that in order to really appreciate this book you must have read the trilogy.

I love the All Soul trilogy and danced happily when I got this ARC.
It took a chapter and I was hooked and happy to be back in the All Soul world.
I loved to meet Diana and Matthew children and to meet old and new characters.
The historical part was good but I preferred the parts featuring Diana/Matthew/etc and Phoebe.
Highly recommended!
