tonyriver's review against another edition
5.0
Wonderfully told story with Nancy an interesting and resourceful lead. She acts with courage and uses her ‘gift’ as ethically as possible for the good of her family, the centre of her life.
Highly recommended and engrossing. Period detail feels authentic throughout.

One word: unexpected. In every what way, unexpected. It took an unexpected amount of time for me to finish this book: fault of a rigorous school semester. It took unexpected turns in unexpected places: although followed the pattern at other points. But the end, the end still has me thinking.
I finished the last fifty or so pages about a month ago, and I’m still thinking about it. How it ended, who the characters were at that point, I can see it all and how it all worked but it’s still sad and satisfying. If that makes sense. I am going to preface now though, this review will be full of spoiler alerts. So if you don’t want me to ruin it for you, I would just skip the end for the rating. Or I’ll just save you the time now, read this book.

An interesting, well-written sequel, with an independent strong heroine and a nice balance between the reality and the paranormal. Still, it wasn't nearly as engaging as The Illusionists.
