tl;dr - | ✭✭✭✩✩ | This book had a little bit of sequel-syndrome. I enjoyed it, especially the Parisian setting, but overall it wasn't as entertaining to me as the first book. I will definitely continue to the third book, though! Worth a read if you loved the first and want to continue the series. De...

I loved the first book in this series, and really didn't care for this one at all. It was extremely well-written, the plot continued the story arc from Book one. But to me, the heroine's character did a complete 180, and I no longer like her as a person. I get why that happened, but since I am no...

The first book was decidedly "okay," and this follow-up falls short of even that. The plot is spread thin and relies heavily on the narrator missing obvious things. Every line and detail is hashed and rehashed, so that the big reveals at the end are either not so big or too little too late.

It was the interesting sister to save brother in a steam-punky world that drew me in first. But it was the kick ass girl all independent and funny that kept me.
