Slightly disappointed in this one, although I read it in no time and enjoyed it. It just wasn't up to the high level set by Klassen's earlier books - it lacked the level of interesting historical detail found in previous books, (how wet nurses were used, difference between chemists, surgeons, and apothecaries) and the characters just weren't as likable. That being said, I'll still be rereading this one and anxiously look forward to Klassen's next.
