All in all this is a brilliant start to a new series and Jonathan Stroud, in my humble opinion, is one of the best fantasy writers for YA (and fully grown adults) currently on the block. The interplay between the characters is wonderful, it's witty and clever, at times hilarious and at others heart-breakingly revealing. I'm quite sure that in the capable hands of this author all will be revealed and explained as the series progresses. Regardless of this print error, Stroud will always hold a special place with me, so I'm still rating 5 stars and not letting this discourage me in finishing the book!

The characters are a dream, both Scarlett and Albert leap off the pages fully formed and ready to fight (especial in Scarlett's case), and I can see them becoming every bit as beloved as the Lockwood crew. From the very first page we are launched into an inventive and perilous world populated by strange and vicious creatures and even stranger and more vicious humans. Adding two chapters. My book jumps from page 86 to 55, and back up again.
I adored the Lockwood books and was super excited to see that Mr Stroud was embarking on a new series and the first book does not disappoint at all. The world building is brilliant, there is obviously much we don't know, but what is revealed is intriguing and imbued with a genuine sense of menace and mystery.
