Why was it so much shorter than the other ones? WHY? *sobs uncontrollably* (I wish you could see how I originally wrote that. Because it was so wrong it was funny. And embarrassing. Which is why I’m not sharing it.)What I liked:It’s paranormal steampunk, which is always amazing. (Okay, sometimes it goes tragically wrong, but with Cindy Spencer Pape it’s always amazing). Add to that a heroine with no powers (other than the world’s largest heart) and a hero with absurdly weak powers (aside from being a gentleman) who both have emotional baggage and … well you just have a recipe for an excellent book, right there.Plus I just adore Ivy. Adorable little kids are like an arrow to the heartbone every single time for me.Oh, and a mystery that’s left open just enough to leave things open for a sequel. Which I always approve of.What I didn’t like:Actually, this isn’t something I care about per say, but the main characters fall in love quickly. Like over the course of a few days. And while I personally would’ve liked this progress to take longer, that’s not because I don’t buy falling in love quickly.I just wanted more.And I kept finding myself comparing it to Cards and Caravans (which I liked more) and getting sad because … if only there was more.(I’m greedy)Who I’d recommend it to:Fans of Steampunk
