While not quite like anything I’ve ever read before, this
book was very good. Set in an alternate
1800s, the characters were engaging and the backstory was completed so skillfully
that I never felt lost. I enjoyed
watching Lena grow into her ‘peculiarities’ such as they were. After deciding to look for her long lost
father in the strange land of Scree, Lena meets a cast of very different
characters on her travels. Jimson is an
unlikely librarian in a house with a very mysterious master. I really enjoyed this book and the ending was
most delightful. It always gives me a
warm feeling inside when bad guys get their just desserts. This book is set for
release to the public in May of 2012 in hardcover. I received this book as an advanced copy
thanks to the publisher, Abrams and Amulet Books, and netgalley.com.
