For a debut novel I was impressed. Unlike other reviewers I don't think it was mis-marketed. I liked the romance because it was realistic. I'll definitely read Maxwell's next book.

This was fantastic! I can't wait for book club!

I loved this!!!!!! I didn't get all the references but I got most of them. And I'm sure I got some most people my age wouldn't have!

I loved the magic system. It's cute and charming. However, as a historical fiction novel it mostly failed. If we are in Victorian London why does the dialogue sound very American and not even American for the time period? That was a bit jarring. But I really loved the story overall.

I hated everything about this book. If this wasn't part of my library's book club I would have quit it long ago. I didn't like any of the characters. I wanted Old Man Wakem to take everything from everyone.
