My Review
**4.5 Stars**
MY OVERVIEW: Steampunk and faeries... how much more awesome can you get? I know a lot of people didn't enjoy this book, but I really liked it! I found the world very interesting and I liked the main character.
PROS: I really liked Noli, V, and Charlotte's characters. I thought they were all written really well. I also loved the Otherworld. It is so beautifully written. And the "boarding" school is just so scary - even more so because that is probably how things were back in Victorian era.
CONS: Even though the book started out strong, it did taper off at one point, then pick back up. I wish we could have known more about Kevighn's sister, but I guess that is going to come up in books to come...
MY FINAL THOUGHTS: I can't wait for the next book! I really did like this book, and after reading some reviews, I can see why some people didn't like it. It is not a heavy steampunk book, but tends to focus more on the fae.
