Read by Jones, Susannahįleeing Victorian London, a witch finds her newfound independence comes with all-new perils-both mortal and immortal.Forever untangling the branches of her strange family tree, Edwina Blackwood is at a turning point. But there were times I read two or three chapters thinking it was the girl when it was Finn, or vice versa, though the chapters do state who's POV it is.By Smith, Luanne G. I would have enjoyed it more if it was from one or the other's POV, with the opposite being in third person (if that makes sense). First person is certainly not my favorite style, though there are books I enjoy reading it in, but finding and reading it through BOTH the eyes of Finn and Rocío was distracting at times. That, and the fact it was written in first person from the point of view of both Finn and Rocío. It was so similar to The Hunger Games and other dystopian stories, where kids are forced to kill others and the authorities put them through unimaginable terrors (not to mention the government has a stranglehold on the entire society), I was ready to move on. By the time I was halfway through, I was getting tired of the tale. However, due to the unexpected amount of language, and the COMPLETELY unnecessary reference to homosexuality, I can only give this three out of five stars.
