Wow!what a great book! historical details that are interesting, supernatural things that are just crazy weird in the best way, and a heroine who stands out brilliantly!

4.5 stars. So freaking fun, the world building and historical setting were incredible and I loved all the characters but some of the romantic relationships were developed a little bit too fast imo

lost interest....not enough magic or "divining" and just truly don't care what happens next...

This book is simply the elephant's eyebrows. There were a few minor characters who were annoyingly 2D, and a couple of plot devices that didn't sit quite right with me, but overall I thoroughly enjoyed it.

This book was DELICIOUS. The setting was everything - so unique and different to anything I've read before, Bray expertly weaves the nuances of the 1920s authentically throughout the book to enhance the reader's experience. The characters were well developed, diverse and realistic. Although the main character was compelling, I was not always sympathetic to her plight and yet this quality makes me like her more. Brilliant writing on Bray's part. The plot was interesting, albeit mildly convoluted and seemingly convenient at certain points. A very solid read that made a lasting impact.
