This book was amazing!!! I absolutely LOVED this author’s first book, The Lost Apothecary, & thought nothing else could compare but I was wrong! This book is as good - if not BETTER - than TLA.  Loved all the mystery with its many twists & turns, super strong world building, solid character development, plot, and romance of different kinds.  I highly recommend this book and can’t wait for her next one.

Despite enjoying the storyline, something about it just made it a slow read for me.
