I wasn't even interested in this book, but I had seen enough ads about it that when I saw it in the library I picked it up without even knowing I was doing it. (Ad companies, I am extremely easily influenced.) I am so glad I was brainwashed into reading this book. It was completely charming and I absolutely fell in love with the setting. I loved the flashback style, even though all of it was set in a time and place I know little about. It's also a nice piece of symmetry that another book I'm reading right now takes place around the same time, so that added to my enjoyment. I also enjoyed the ending reveal about the Rattler because I truly had no idea where that was going and I had resigned myself to the idea that it would never be wrapped up.

I only regret that I didn't read this in the summer because it is a perfect summer book for when the temperature is just barely tolerable.
