My full gushing accompanies volume 1, but again, this is a fantastic book I enjoyed more than any I've read in years.

This book, along with the first volume, created an immense world that I fell into every time I opened the book. The actual timeline of this story is about two or three days, but it takes place over the course of two volumes. When I began volume two, I was unsure of the characters' fate and that uncertainty remained throughout the book. There were some things about the writing style in this book that I didn't care for, but I set those aside because the story was so massive and interesting, and I was still confused -- in a good way -- even halfway through volume two. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a sort of fantastical alternate history, as this takes place in a re-imagined Victorian England. Very unusual, very complicated, but very interesting. Looking forward to Gordon Dahlquist's other books, as well!
