So, I'll be honest. I've had this book floating around on my TBR list for two years now, and for some reason I just never felt any interest in reading it. 
 I feel really silly now! 
 This book was seriously amazing! 
 The world building was brilliant. I'm already mentally planning a family holiday to Prague, it sounds amazing. 
 The way Seraph and Chimera (and their world) are described is detailed and wondrous. 
 And Karou - what a kickass leading lady. She's very good at a lot of things, but she is no Mary-Sue. 
 Akiva is a devine, tortured soul - perfectly flawed. 
 Overall I rate this 5 stars.
