    <body><![CDATA[A slow-moving book, but intentionally so.  What I love is the way she creates an atmosphere of inertia.  The heroine, Rachaela, seems incapable of action, in fact she hardly interacts with the world at all.  She works in a bookshop, and the world of books is more real to her than the real world.

    <body><![CDATA[This is set in modern London (England) and sort of a gothic fantasy or horror, so the urban fantasy tag doesn't quite fit. <br/><br/>I almost never say this but I advise anyone picking this up to stop at the end of this book. Yes it is part of a trilogy, but I actually feel that it takes away from...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/14702491">more...</a>]]></body>
