Celine Jeanjean develops a story with enough mystery and suggested potential romance to keep the reader awake all night long. She's visibly worked a lot to document and render the musical part and spirit, as well as to put us in the shoes of an autist lady in victorian London.
Although it takes a bit too long to get acquainted with the main characters - the story starts to unravel only in chapter 5 - that gives the reader ample time to try to guess how the 3 protagonists we first follow will eventually meet.
Once in the opera, you get captivated, all the more so if you like classical music and science infused with mystery.
I give it only 4 stars because of the too lengthy introduction in the Music & Mirrors world.
Apiya's search for her ancestry leads her into peril again from fierce forces aligned against her as well as an overpoweringly benign influence for which she needs all the help she can get from her friends. Another cliffhanger, things are moving forward - what next?
For Ada the opera house represents escape from a world she doesn't fit. For Eric it is where he finally belongs.
A captivating tale, thoroughly engaging. Recommended...
Gorgeous book! The story is riveting and well written.
Great characters and unique storyline. Made me even more excited for my copy of music & Mirrors!
One of the prettiest books I've ever gotten! I'm so excited to read it, it seems like such a fun book! And it was so well packed! Nothing could have harmed this book in Shipping and I really appreciated the care and thought that went into every part of this book!
This book had me giggling from the start! Absolutely phenomenal story!
A great read with a g&t and I hope something goes right in the end , when I get to the end of the book
