The idea and the world was cool but it didn't quite live up to my expectations. I did enjoy it but I thought I would love it.

A phenomenally literary adventure

This is an amazing story full of unexpected details and incredible characters. If you love books, it’s a must read.

Page 91 and loving it, it’s complicated and witty and I get the sense that the author really loves reading 

320- I knew it was
Beth!
Ooo the drama, mrs Sutherland. 

366- I knew it was
moriarty
 

Great ending,  it was just right I loved it. 

Overall, I absolutely loved it, everything was perfect. I loved how there were romantic relationships but the real focus was on the family relationships. Even if you haven’t read Dickens you can still enjoy the book greatly like I have, however you may loose out on some of the character  references (but it’s not a deal Breaker)
