Melissa Grey does a fabulous job of world-building in this book, weaving the fantastic in with the normal. Moving from New York to a Drakharin prison, to the mundane merges beautifully with the extraordinary. Her characterizations were spot-on as well. Not one character within the story is "good" or "bad". They just ARE, and they have motivations that swing both ways.
There are a few formulaic elements within the story, but they are handled well and don't interrupt the overall flow. This is quite obviously not a stand-alone book. It could be read as such, and the ending is satisfying, but it is apparent when the last page is turned that there is more to come. I look forward to reading a sequel to The Girl at Midnight, and I hope that it is just as well done as this one.
