Hiliass Kamara hiliasskamc92b — The first fifty or so pages were a little sluggish for me, but once the book started to get into the swing of things, I finished it pretty quickly. Alexia, at times, really got on my nerves. A couple of examples follow: (a) Her constant comments on her figure and lineage; for someone who generally doesn't care what others think, she spends more than necessary time criticizing her unfashionable looks and (b) The way she criticizes every aspect of Ivy Hisselpenny. It seems like a friendship of convenience. If she's supposed to be Alexia's closest friend (especially with all she confides in Ivy), one would think that she wouldn't treat Ivy as a doormat. Another thing about the book is the many blatant stereotypes that appear in many historical romance mysteries: the insipid, shallow stepsisters and mother; the complacent father figure; the flamboyant friend; the independent to a fault, bookish heroine; the undesirable suitor; and the handsome, rakish hero (who has a Holmes/Watson relationship with his Beta). Everyone falls into place as in theatrics. I also found the book to be predictable. I'm not the type of person predicts occurrences in a book, so when I say a book is predictable, it is REALLY predictable. I did think the element of science involved in the novel was refreshing, and as much as I may complain about stereotypes, I really liked the male characters. Despite myself, I loved the Maccon and Lyall relationships, and Floote, Alexia's butler, was one of those characters that I found to be really funny in all his properness. It's also interesting to see supernatural society integrated into the mainstream during the Victorian era. I really liked how there was a social structure and policing system of the supes in England and the supernatural rights theme. All in all, this was a fun read, and I will definitely will continue with the series.

Jude Salle sallejude3020 — A few chapters into this book, I realized with joy that I had found a new author whose works I would enjoy tremendously. "Please let this not be his only book," I thought, and I was not disappointed. Once again, I find that it is the characters, more than plot or writing style, that make this one of my favorite books. (The plot and style are great too, though.) Unusual, lovable, flawed, and most of all hilariously WITTY! Maybe because it was my first Russo, this remains my favorite of his novels, but the others are still very good reads.
