This book pulled me out of a long period lacking in spare-time reading (i.e., I had no brain power left over for spare-time reading), so I am grateful to it for that. It was fun in a bookish nerd kind of way, like the Thursday Next books, except with a ‘level-headed spinster intrigue' rather than ‘epic fantasy adventure' quality which, you know, is not necessarily a bad thing. Which actually means that this book and the Thursday Next series have little to nothing in common, so why do I even bring it up? Because I have nothing else to say about this book? This may be true. The ending came in sight long before the story was over, though, posing as a Big Reveal without a satisfactory payoff, so the ending was a bit of a letdown. Although I seem to feel that way about most books.
