I DNFd this by about 200 pages so I don't think it fair of me to give a rating. I thought I might have liked this based on its whimsy but then someone said if you like caraval then you'll like this and it's put me into perspective ever since. I just don't really click with it and that's fine. I was intrigued by Ophelia and her uncle more than the love interest and upon revealing him, I really wasn't interested. Someone said they will never again read romance books where the men are ugly and I have to agree because god this was a struggle. 

I am told it is a slow burn and I love a slow burn. However when the fourth book in the series is apparently still in French, I saw reason to abandon my half arsed efforts and look elsewhere. Just not for me.
