johncrawford53 's review for:
The Cabinet of Wonders
by Marie Rutkoski
Set in an alternative 19th century Austro-Hungarian Empire, this book follows a daughter's quest to restore her father to health. Magic is operative in this world, as are the typical politics of the era. Petra is a brave, quick-thinking child. Also, very, very, very lucky.
This book was fun, but clearly the beginning of a series. Figures showed up and disappeared in a manner that leads me to believe that they will return in later novels. The puzzles and challenges set before Petra also don't ultimately seem all that challenging. So, I'm a little disappointed, but I'm interested in reading the next book.
