It's been a while since I read this book and since I have yet to create a review for it and am not really feeling the need to, I figured I'll just put the notes I took down so it won't be lost.
*IT TOOK ME AGES TO FIGURE OUT THIS WAS A PREQUEL. AHH. Like, it really took Genevieve's appearance in little girl form for it to click #feelingdumb.
*I had a hard time immersing myself in the story and world (despite loving the world in Soulless) for the first 150 or so. BUT once I reached that marked I was in and fully commited to the book. It did take a while to read due to the first 150 pages though.
*I really liked Sophronia. She had a knack for espionage, she doesn't care about color (and, considering the time-period, this means something), is very practical (one of the best features of Alexia from the Parasol Protectorate series), has a good head on her shoulders.
*Sophronia's set of friends were also great and colorful (both literally and figuratively lol)
*I did feel like no one acted their age though...
