Status Updates From Vanished: The Gwen St. Jame...

Literally only one character was introduced that could have been the baddie, so I wasn't all that surprised when they turned out to be, well, bad. But it's been an enjoyable ride.

This is falling a bit into the "Hyper-competent, inexplicably accomplished, well travelled Female Victorian Detective" trope I'm getting a bit tired of recently, but I do like that she's actually self conscious about how others see her. That's a nice change to the many, MANY other takes on this I've read.

Can't beat an epilogue that features 🦄 lore 📝

I was about to hunt down kidnappers with a 12 year old pickpocket, a raven and a police officer who didn't quite trust me. What could possibly go wrong?

Indeed 🍿

I'm really enjoying the magical elements in this - that Hoat sounds delightfully inventive 🤩

He looked me up and down most inappropriately, and responded "I don't think the Queen herself could keep you out of trouble with a hundred guards and a royal edict."

"I do not go looking for trouble, sir. It finds me while I am minding my own business."

More please - this can only end well 😇

Already thoroughly enjoying the cast of characters 😈
Have just met Delilah - what an intro 😅

Fancy myself a change of pace 🤔

Have a hankering for a gaslamp fantasy with lady ahead of her time + Glass Animals playlist....let's go 🤞🏼
