I wish I had remembered to write this JE sooner after finishing the book. I recall there where aspects about the book that didn't land too well with me, but on the whole it was quite a fairy tale; imaginative and unpredictable (as should be!). Fascinating journey to a magical fantasy, tick-punk London of the late 1800:s!
Wished for by dschinny. Will be handed over at our meet-up.
Received from Nordpirat at our meetup today. Thank you! 🙂
I liked the idea of the book and I love the cover. The story itself is a bit lame and the disjointed writing style makes it difficult to understand sometimes. The story isn‘t developed properly so some twists come out of the blue without any hints before and make them unbelievable. Shame really, as this could be a lovely story with either a different author or a better editor…
