I read this 760 page book in 5 days! It was one of those books you stay up and lose sleep for to keep reading. This was reminiscent of gothic novels like Jane Eyre, had similarities to Bram Stoker's Dracula, and reminded me of Harry Potter for grownups or the drawn-out, quest- like story of the Lord of the Rings series. The three heroes, Miss Temple, Cardinal Chang, and Dr. Svenson, are compelling in their humanness and super-hero-like behavior. Their hold on their humanness is what keeps you rooting for them throughout the unbelievably challenging adventure and intrigue, as they fight an insidious evil cabal bent on world domination through mind control of their "adherents" using an at-once entrancing and imprisoning alchemy of specially prepared blue glass "books" that entrap the memories and experiences of those recruited to the cabal's intentions.
