Review title: intriguing Victorian coming-of-age
Product review: I picked this up thinking it was a fantasy, but although it has some fantasy elements, I wound up particularly liking the sharp dialogue and perceptive analysis of the relationships among teenage girls. Through their words and actions, the girls demonstrate that although many things have changed since the Victorian era -- such as what women can and cannot expect from their lives -- many aspects of adolescence (cliques, rebellion, emerging self-understanding) haven't changed a bit. The fantasy part actually struck me as a bit weak, though that may be partly because (not knowing it was the first part of a trilogy) I read the whole book expecting things to be resolved and explained at the end. Instead, the end feels more like a beginning, but I look forward to the next installment.
