Oh, look. A series. I wonder if the next book is going to be an homage to Wuthering Heights, since this one is riffing on Tenant of Wildfell Hall. Which is way more subtle than basing the first one on Jane Eyre and not just because fewer people have read Anne than Charlotte.
It suffered a bit from not quite living up to the first book. Some of the plotting felt a bit less tight and Connolly has her characters in danger for pretty much the entire story, which means that the moments of actual tension are...less tense.
On the other hand, it had some amazing scenes in it and the continued use development of the Edwardian-era world was very cool. Definitely enjoyed this book.
