This series is just so much fun, and I loved this installment!  It was great to see more of the world and the council and how it affects Cornelia in particular. 

This is a book I was hyped for and yet was still somehow everything I didn’t know I needed. Set in 1920s Montreal, I loved that it didn’t feel too historical (more just a little old fashioned and fantastical, which is a good mix) and that we got little insights into Montreal, a place I don’t think I’ve seen as a book setting before. 

I’m having such a good time with this very readable series. It’s very accessible and I’m enjoying the urban fantasy elements a lot - I really need this genre to reemerge!

This is one of the most stunning books I’ve ever read.It’s a statement about stories themselves and how they can be used as weapons. It’s a fight against governments acting in greed and in their own self interest and not that of the people. It’s also standing against othering and colonialism and racism and so many other things. 

I would honestly read Alix’s shopping list at this point. There’s a point 100 pages in that literally had me gasping and losing my mind and from then on I was completely hooked.
