I don't think you can ever go wrong with a secret society and I love when the magic and non-magical worlds cross over but it is a delicate balance due to having to have a few chapter of the non-magical individuals being introduced to it, but I think Freya does and amazing job of having Robin be accepting of the magic quickly but also with it being realistic and not dragging it out.
What I also admired about this book is that it is set in the past and Freya does an amazing job of introducing true facts and attitudes: homosexual individuals were not accepted and they had to be careful (I wanted to hug Edwin and Robin) and women, especially of colour, were over looked even if they were capable of doing the job (you tell them miss morisey).
The relationship and growth between Edwin and Robin I lived for and I could read more about just them.
I do think this is what I might struggle with in the rest of the series if it changes people and I don't really get anymore from their POVs but I am interested in the world and will look forward to reading more about this world and finally finding out where the other items of the contract are!
