I thought it was very good. Ms., Burrows has a fresh voice in the historical genre. I just fell in love with Sophie, Vim and all of Sophie's brothers:) Can't wait for the other stories in this series. And lest I forget My Lord Baby, Master Kit, who brought Sophie and her Vim together in the first place.
