An appendectomy in 1819? Oooookay.

Did she just cut into someone's skull using only a scalpel? Oh come on.

Some inconsistencies that you'd think an editor would have picked up. Is the dancer's hair red or blonde? Bustles are mentioned but didn't exist until 13 years after the time of the book. But sure, why not?

This author has a habit of writing silly, slightly unlikeable main characters in charming jobs. This one has so many rules about how she lives that I'm surprised she has any friends. And she lives in a fantasy world where people are just smoking in public willy-nilly? But the vintage clothing make-up for everything somehow. I'm done thinking about it or arguing with myself.
