A review by zoefruitcake
The Strange Case of the Alchemist's Daughter by Theodora Goss

4.0

An energetic romp around London with so many literary nods you'll be wanting to re-read some classics with a fresh eye. I hope we will be treated to another installment of the Athena Club (note that that is spelt with the English double L) my only real criticism of this entertaining book are the anachronistic Americanisms, far too many uses of the word 'gotten' made me wince (a word which we simply do not use) purse instead of handbag and sidewalk. So much effort had gone into painting these scenes of Victorian London only to be let down by language.
