I really liked the first half of this book but then I just lost interest all together in the characters and story line. The book is much longer than it needs to be.
I did enjoy this book despite the somewhat predicatable way in which the characters are developed. I read the "Meaning of Night" first, and while it isn't necessary to read both books or to read them in order, I felt that I had a greater understanding into this book because I had read the other one first. This book picks up where the Meaning of Night leaves off and manages to tie all of the storylines together into a neat little bow by the end of the book. There wasn't much mystery for me in that I was able to figure out the surprises before they were revealed in the book but still enjoyed the story and the Victorian setting.
This book is a page turner! It is written through the first person perspective of a 19-year-old woman on a mysterious mission. She is inserted into a baronesses home as a lady's maid set to discover hidden truths about herself and the lady she serves.
The characters developed in this book feel like real people. Each character has their own point of view, mannerisms, and speech. Little details like that make this book a pleasure to read. It's one of those books that you want to last longer and miss the characters when it's over.
