I really enjoyed this book. The writing was good, the world felt built out and real, the characters (for the most part) felt multidimensional and believable. There were a couple points where it felt like a side character turned on a dime without enough buildup to why they'd feel that way or change their mind in such a manner, but not enough to make me not love the book.

I guess I'm just hitting some middle of the road fantasy with these last two books! This is a debut historical fantasy about secretive magic, about power, and about sexism. The magic system was interesting and gave off a very 1920s vibe throughout most of the story. The overall world building was well done, and there's a strong cast of characters throughout.

Some of the pacing in the book was off, however. There were some moments where the writing really shined, so there's potential! Especially since this is going to be a series; lots of time to flesh out some of the aspects of this book that had a lot of potential.

Wow. Just wow. Kate is able to draw you in and make you feel apart of this world. Centered around friendship, shifting the status quo, and strong female characters. The book leaves you itching for more.
