The Vespertine by Saundra Mitchell

3.0

A period piece, without being too period-y. Yes, there are corsets and there are dances, but there is also the mysterious Nathaniel and Amelia's own unexplained power of prophecy. The story hinges on the things Amelia sees to propel it, though it seems like she and those around her never really try to influence or change those visions. A quick, fun, engrossing read, but I almost feel that I have not actually grasped a lot about the story on reaching its end. That isn't to say not to read it, but perhaps to not expect much more from it.
