Why Did I Read? Victorian England. Magic. YOU HAVE ME. My Thoughts: I really, really enjoyed this one! I have to say, I really am kind of a sucker for anything Victorian England.

I can’t remember exactly when but I do remember that this series made me fall in love with fantasy. So it really holds a special place in my heart! What I Remember: Being in love with the world! To be honest, it was so long ago, the plot points escape […]
