This author has put a great deal of effort into creating a parallel universe similar to the early to mid 20th century, including historic figures within the story line. While skillfully interweaving technology, the author introduces numerous fantastic creatures such as dwarfs, fairies, kobolds and mechanical humanoids living in France, Germany, Switzerland and other countries readers will recognize. The story moves along quickly, introducing characters, plot twists, and places at alarming speed. A good choice for mystery lovers.
The amount of information the reader is introduced to could be overwhelming for the targeted audience. Readers who have not read the first books may be at a loss if they start with this title. The book begins where his others ended and readers could feel lost without this important background knowledge.
Independent readers in grades 5 and up and who have read the other books will enjoy the continuation of the series. Fans of Steampunk, Fantasy, possible alternate-reality genre lovers will also enjoy this title.
