I devoured this book. The audiobook was well produced and it helped me fly through this story. Throughout the story I was baffled over and over again with Ophelia, but I found the world building and other characters so interesting. I just couldn't put the book down because so many political pieces are moving. The magic is fascinating as well.
It was a really interesting blend of Pride and Prejudice, steampunk and Beauty and the Beast plus some Game of Thrones.

pretty disappointed in this, only because I thought I would like it (I didn't know anything going into this but heard good reviews) and I definitely did not. the last 150 pages (of my 494 edition) was interesting but I hated the beginning part and I just hated all the characters and the world argh. also I don't know if the original french used fancy language but the translation used heaps of higher calibre words, in that I actually googled the definition of a word... and I've never done that before. probably won't continue with the series for a long time.
