Writing:
The book is very well written. I liked how to book started off with a quote and an intriguing bit of information about the world. I am a big fan Roshani Chokshi's writing. I find it lyrical and beautiful. She describes things using all the senses which really draws me in.
Plot/Story:
This book seems very inventive. I like that it is set in the late 1800 in Paris. It is a very interesting setting to have the book set in. It immediately is intriguing by giving a little snippet of the world before the prologue even starts. It explains this new world of Houses and heists and leaves me wants to find out at the end of this sampler. And did I mention the magic? It's intriguing and I can't wait to find out more about how it all works!
Characters:
There is a large host of characters and I absolutely love how diverse they all are. I am interested to find out more from each of them. I was immediately draw to Lila for her strength and fun demeanor. Severin seems very driven and I wonder if this will work out to his advantage. Zofia was also very interesting to me for the way the other characters view her. It seems like there might be a disconnect between how they view her and how she views herself and I would like to find out more about this.
