So before I move on the real commentary, I need to say ETHAN CHAMBERS. If that is not a throwback to Ethan Chandler I don't know what is. C'mon. (There's one thing I love more than Genevieve Valentine's books, and that is Genevieve Valentine's articles on Penny Dreadful) (and red carpet outfits). 
 So if you try to tell me Ethan Chambers doesn't look like this, I won't believe you: 
 That said. I loved the book. I particularly loved Suyana and Daniel (who also has a face in my mind, but that I'll keep private, yummy), and also Suyana and Daniel, and Daniel and Suyana. 
 There's something I didn't much like but I can't put my finger on it. It's possibly related to the fact that the book felt too much like the first of a series (too incomplete, too introductory), and I prefer it when books in a trilogy (or at least the first one) can be read as stand-alone books.
