Normally, I love Spark, but this one left me cold. She, as usual, creates some interesting characters, but I didn't particularly care what happened to them. The ending felt contrived to the point of almost being an insult.

Not the best Spark's novel

Good Spark but maybe not great? The first part is epigrammatic and delightful and builds up to a joyful (for me) comic set piece. And she has nice line and the way people intuit sounds insights about rivals and enemies for the wrong reasons. But it sort of fades a way at the end and it’s the first book I’ve read of hers where the way she apparently made it up as she went seems like a potential limitation, rather than something miraculous.
