IT IS A PLEASURE TO MEET ANOTHER TRUSTEE OF THE MORI FUTURES PREPARATION SOCIETY

"He wished then that he could go back and that the ball had landed on another number. He would be none the wiser and he would be staying at Filigree Street, probably for years, still happy, and he wouldn’t have stolen those years from a lonely man who was too decent to mention that they were missing."

'My name is Nathaniel Steepleton, I live with Keita Mori. I don't suppose he's spoken to you today?'
Ito's expression closed. 'What's going to happen?'

I love that everyone is terrified of Mori. he's 5'4" and his best mate is a clockwork octopus.

'I know you mean that well, but I have to say, I'm a bit offended that you think I couldn't live through some bruises and some shouting without a man who was born well after I was first on the wrong end of naval guns.'
'When were you?'
'When the British fired on Canton. I mean... they weren't aiming at me personally, but I think it should still count.'

IS THAT WHEN HE WAS WITH MERRICK IN THE BEDLAM STAACCCKKKSSS

every time anyone mentions tea in this book I have to go and make a cup and considering this is set in 19th century London and has a Japanese main character I am drinking THE PACIFIC OCEAN OF TEA via a 15oz mug

this book is like a warm brew when it's raining out. my official review

I HONESTLY HAVE NO IDEA WHERE ANY OF THIS IS GOING BUT I'M HAVING A MARVELLOUS TIME
