This is one of the best books I’ve read in a while and perfect for late Autumn/Winter reading. I completely devoured this book, because I found the characters, their actions and how they grow throughout, intriguing and exciting.
This book is mysterious and has wonderful payoffs at the end. I will definitely read it again sometime in the future.

I don't know that I can put into words how much I love this book. It is such a beautiful dichotomy, underpinned by the intrigue surrounding a violent event yet filled with whimsy and heartbreakingly poignant moments. I adored it the first time I read it but coming back to it having read The Lost Future of Pepperharrow, with the extra depth that gives to the characters, made it a truly special experience. Towards the end there was a genuine ache in my chest at the thought of leaving Filigree Street behind, it truly is one of those books that feel like coming home in way. You should read this book.
