I love getting to spend time in Widdershins, again. In fact, that was the only thing I loved about this book. Widdershins is just an amazing city and I adore all the talk about it ‘knowing its own'. (And, to be fair, Mr. Quinn is in fine form in this story.)

This was, however, my least favorite Widdershins story because I simply cannot stand Maggie Parkhurst as a narrator. I find her to be a very weak character - both as a character in a story and she is constantly mentally berating herself for not doing more and being ‘only a secretary' and I find this insufferable. And her constant mooning turns very frustrating very quickly.

(I'd also like to mention that despite how different Persephone and Percival are, I am a little weirded out that apparently the only people Maggie has even been attracted to are these twins. And how quickly she looses interest in one in favor of the other. It's just...all very strange.)
