Honestly it‘s an interesting book. Different, very much so. Deviates from the Cinderella set up of the first one, but also tells a great story of its own. I love the relationships this book continues or elaborates on that were set up in the first one, the strange reunions and the mixed feelings they invoke and many other aspects of this story. Honestly, if there was a third book in this series, I‘d read it.

5/5⭐ Where do I even start? I absolutely adored following the main trio as their loving relationship only grows in beautiful and healthy ways. I LOVE THEIR RELATIONSHIP SO MUCH. I love how Nick grows as a person, through discovering her strengths and recognizing and working through her weaknesses. The book tackles many complex themes and pulls it off.

I cannot recommend this duology enough. (cont'd in comment)

hissingpotatoes The writing is gorgeous. I can't quote specifics b/c they're so embedded in context they wouldn't make sense individually. The story's built on a powerful web of words/phrases that often made me stop, re-read, & roll their beauty around in my mind. I have such a clear picture of the world. Cornwell makes characters' emotions crystal clear w/ complex, stunning wordsmithing. I legit sobbed-not just tears, full on sobbing-at one point. 5y

This book was a nice light and magical read. It was a bit different in that it featured a very sweet poly relationship. I loved the world, and all the steampunk creatures. I haven‘t read the first book, but I really did enjoy this one.

I think it's @BarbaraJean Great idea ! Page 117. Sentence 2. " After he brought us our drinks he bowed deeply and hurried out the galley door. " ? This is inspiring for me & I hope I will bow deeply for the rest of 2017. I'll be thinking about this ??

BarbaraJean 😊I think bowing deeply is probably better than hurrying all year (or bringing people drinks all year!!) 7y
Cathythoughts @BarbaraJean I think so too 😉 7y
