I absolutely love this series. I have re-read the books multiple times and it never gets old. Bray manages to create such complex characters that are sympathetic no matter how hard one might try and hate them. Characters and old English settings- one of my favs- create the perfect book for a cold winter afternoon.
This is one of those books I'd like to call the "Koh-i-noor-of-Young-Adult", because after delving through cow shit of current YA books— there is always one that does restore hope inside me despite the Mary Sue heroines, bland/abusive love interests, lack of plot and lack of research when it comes to historical eras in which the book is set in(yes, I'm looking at you Cassandra Clare!)

Terrific read: Victorian English ultra-mean girls sprout magical powers then start realm-hopping for their lives... Libba Bray: What a talent! Her Going Bovine - so different from this - rocked too!
What lingers from book, in two words: Girl power!!
