The story dragged a bit when the main characters needlessly kept secrets from each other, but it was otherwise enjoyable. I enjoyed the Cinderella inspiration, and I liked the was that the author subverted some of the story’s tropes.

Violet Brigerton took on a more important role in this third book of the series, and I must say she is a rather interesting character. I hope she remains important in future novels as well.
