Helpful Score: 5

I really expected this to be better than it was. Has an interesting & unique storyline, but frankly, this is one of the most sloppy, poorly edited books I've ever read. There are grammatical & contextual errors all through it, Ms. Tarr can't seem to keep what surname belongs to who straight all the way up to the end of the book, and really, it's a Victorian that, aside from the plot & setting, doesn't consistently maintain a Victorian feel to it. Some parts of it very much so, some not so much. I'm of the impression that this writer has some very promising talent, but her execution is rather inconsistent & sloppy. So many of the more intriguing subplots in this story were all too briefly glossed over, almost to the point of the introduction of them into the story at all seeming rather trite. I really think this could have been an A+ book had the writer shown just a little more attention to detail.
