This book is enchanting, atmospheric, and such a huge step up from Bray's Rebel Angels trilogy. Honestly the only reason it wasn't a 5-star for me is because it very easily could have been a standalone book and might have even been stronger for the excising of Memphis's subplot or SpoilerTheta's/Henry's abilities. The book could have been a really satisfying standalone if more had been made of their abilities or if Memphis's subplot had more closely intertwined with the main characters. So I'm cautious about the fact that it's going to ultimately be 4 books. I hope that the rest are as cohesive as this one and that the series doesn't stretch itself too thin.
