My thoughts: I loved this book because I found it very unique in its genre. I love how the author makes up this incredible world in a city like New York, which could seem anything but magical or supernatural. But all her fantastic places are concealed right at the heart of the city, giving this book the perfect atmosphere. Also, you can just tell that there was so much thought in the development of all the character, as the story develops and unfolds slowly but with such a precision of details and wonderful descriptions that it really does end up in completely unexpected twists. I can't wait to read the next volume of the series!
