This book has a wonderful way of weaving together Victorian Italy and a face paced adventure. It creates the atmosphere of the time period but gives you a quick ability to focus on the action. I loved the main character. She is witty and fun but nothing so immovable as to not allow herself to change as a young woman. She is questioning everything in a way that is just someone trying to figure out the world not someone incapable of new things. The people she meets along the way are interesting and diverse and not always likable. It was so interesting and the ending left me craving the next book!
