The White City by Elizabeth Bear

4.0

I have a soft spot for the subtle sensuality of Don Sebastien and his court, and this tale of two murder set six years apart was both beautifully paced and written. I am also delighted to see Jack reappearing in the novel, though I feel like perhaps the strength of his relationship with Phoebe may have been overplayed. I do not recall such a big deal being made out of them in New Amsterdam. Although, then again, Phoebe never really endeared herself to me the way Sebastien, Jack and Abby Irene did, so perhaps I've marginalized her story accordingly.
