This was such a surprisingly enjoyable read. It's a young adult novel about the Brontë sibilings, but it's also a fantasy. This was a story that brought to life people that once made such an impact on literature. That fact alone made it worth it in the beginning. As it went on however, the plot hooks you in and doesn't let you go until the very last page. The characters were the best because not only did we have these made up characters (Alexander Rogue, for instance) but we also had the Brontë siblings as characters themselves. It was highly compelling and a good standalone YA historical fiction/ fantasy. I especially loved the relationship between the characters, both real and make believe. If you like historical fantasies definitely give it a try.
