Not well written, a recycled plot, and every part of the story is hideously anachronistic (it’s set in the late 1800s). Not only is the main character a spunky red-head with snapping green eyes (that people constantly remark upon), but halfway through she’s told that she is "’the promised girl who could restore the magic of these realms and bring the Order back to power.’" Ugh. What’s really bothersome is that it’s the first part of a series, so in order to find out the ending I’d have to read more of these things. No thank you!
