This book has quite a few strengths. Kingfisher’s writing is excellent, I just swallowed her words with pleasure. Her characters came alive with ease, and her world-building was effortless.

Truly, this book is delightful to read in that regard. The story, however, is not as compelling. It’s not bad, don’t get me wrong, but it’s a bit thin and not very rewarding. It’s a bit of a shame, given how good the other aspects of the book are.

Anyhow, I had a good time reading this. I particularly loved the character of the Widow, she was fantastic. Sadly, the story won’t stay with me.
