It took me a while to finish this one because simply put, it was a chore.

Although the characters were well written, interesting and diverse, and although the plot was nice enough, I couldn’t stand the writing style! And I feel so bad saying that because it seemed like such a personal choice of the author’s.

The author had little references and interjecting narratives that just really put me off course and confused me. It made me just want to give up on the story itself, which really was quite fun!

Overall, it was a nice read. But nothing that I would recommend unless you are a child who is particularly into magic or London.
