EXTREMELY unique premise that is well written (though scattered at times) and has interesting concept/characters. Overall, this is a mostly enjoyable read but it took a reeeaaalllyyy long time to end and when it did I just stared at the ereader for a long while. It didn't bog down at any one place, ...
There's really not much to say about this that other reviewers haven't said sooner and better. And I'm an unabashed Claire North/Kate Griffin fangirl, so perhaps I'm an easy target for her particular brand of literary magic, but in any case, this was spectacularly good.
This book blends several genres together seamlessly into one intricate, if not at times wandering, story.

I'm done with this book. I cannot explain why I always feel so bogged down trudging through Russia unexpectedly, though I am aware of the similarity of, you know, every other invasion of Russia ever. This isn't war, precisely, but I just stopped caring once it stopped being as much of a mystery an...
104. TOUCH, BY CLAIRE NORTH Recommended by Julian. I should know better than to judge a book by its cover by now, but, before I started reading it, I thought it would be a YA sci-fi.
