I really enjoy the mystery aspect of this series continuing even as we shift character focus in this 2nd book. When the Seer of London was mentioned during a conversation in the first book I had the feeling we would be seeing him again, and here we are.
A lot more discussion of feelings and a little less action this time around. I found both characters likeable but didn't really understand what made them a couple. Lazarus was a much stronger, more interesting character than Nathaniel, and it was nice to see his street skills and care for his employees. Nathaniel is definitely more boring - being an atheist in a religious family is pretty run of the mill in the 21st century even if it was rather daring in the 19th.
