3.0

This is classic Clair North, in the vain of The Fist 15 Lives of Harry August and Touch. Taking place in our world but with one magical twist. Exploring the repercussions of that twist in depth. This time she takes on the ills of the gilded age. 

Perhaps I was not in the right mood, but this time I had hard time getting into the novel and paused reading a number of times. Instead of exiting if felt tedious.
