As typical with Nothomb, it as a quick read with a lot of tension. I was disappointed by the ending though, it seemed that the author got lazy at the end and betrayed her own work with a few undecisive pages.

The delivery was otherwise good, the idea of the book reminded me of the "Little Zaches, nicknamed Cinnaber" by E.T.A. Hoffmann.
