I've loved almost everything of Westerfeld's that I've read (The Last Days is the exception), and this was one of my favorites. My husband was sort of meh about it, though.

Girls who go astray must be punished by dying ;) But despite the old cliché, I loved how sympathetically she portrayed Cicely. Valancy outright says that extramarital sex doesn't make her a bad person, which is daring today in certain social groups, let alone then. “remember, pregnancy and consumption always go hand-in-hand” Ha, so true.

Reading your review, I actually think that I might have read this, too. I might just go reread it. :-) I LOVE it when I refind something that I have been trying to remember.

Great review! I also loved the "orphan" books as a child...drawn to kids becoming themselves on their "own". I loved the Boxcar series and survival-type series for that reason too.

I much prefer something original. Please visit my web site :) Thanks!
