This book is without a doubt the wildest thing I have read in a while. Unfortunately, I couldn't buy a lot of it after a certain point pretty early on, but it was engaging. I was frustrated that for all of Ophelia's discomfort with the existence of servants she rarely talked to them except when necessary (I'll accept plot reasons). It made people like Gail and Fox, whom I found the most interesting, passing figures. Christelle Dabos has her characterization down for sure.
