This was a good one. The book has two short stories and an epilogue. At first, I was disappointed that the first story ended and we moved away from the first person POV of Belimai, but the next story was even better.

"Wicked Gentlemen" is the perfect dark fairytale. A cross between steampunk and slash and oddly, for me, the Sherlock Holmes stories (maybe it was all the descriptions of Victorian style drawing rooms).

A dark and gloomy setting but a story that is warm and touching. Interesting characters. Decent plot. Sexy and elegant in an understated sort of way.

Other than that th...more

Interesting ideas, executed mediocrely. Her prose is workman-like, and she's much better at writing action an intrigue than people's emotions. Lots of telling rather than showing.

What an intriguing premise! Too bad the author wasn't able to really develop the characters or, well, the story into anything substantial.
