This was both more and less than what I was expecting - I'll have to read it again to fully grasp it, I think. The book-within-a-book threw me for a while, too. 

The prose & character descriptions are rich, expansive yet concise (..."whose habits could not be changed by any force short of cannon fire" is a line that will stick with me), and delicious.

some absolutely gorgeous prose and a stellar cast of side characters (Yule, you are my ANGEL!!!!!!!!!) but I found myself SO frustrated with January for so much of the book
