3.5 stars
I am still processing my feelings about this series after reading the second installment. The series concerns an alternate London where after Queen Victoria's reign ends clairvoyants begin to appear and were then persecuted for their gifts. Paige is a powerful young clairvoyant who can dreamwalk, and enter into other's consciences. The confusion of the first book is somewhat resolved in the second, or maybe I just got used to the language. This book is more fast-paced and I felt like more the history of this world is explained more fully. I think that what this series is missing is fleshed out secondary characters. Mostly this story is about Paige and while friendships exist, she really doesn't value the friendships enough for them to play an important role and that is what I find most lacking in this series so far. Such a complicated fantasy series needs more players and while there are certainly many characters, the main focus on Paige drags the story down at times. I do like that this series has definitely gotten better as it progresses and I do plan to pick up the third in the near future. I received this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
