New adventures and discoveries await Ivy as she moves with mr. Quent and her sisters to the house in Durrow street. This house as a lot of secrets yet to reveil. And Mr. Quent is rewarded with a new title for his service to the crown. Yet this puts him and Ivy in new, more public and politic function with new dangers...
Mr. Rafferdy takes his fathers place in the House of Magnates reluctantly. There he meets new people, and learns of new dangers and new secrets. (sorry, don't want to spoiler)
This part I learned more about Eldyn Garritt, and I was irritated by him (before I found him rather naieve in quite an irritating manner), however he improves himself even if he is still quite capable of being naieve, a little selfcentered and he fools himself enormously.
Although it does not read fast (at least not for me, since English is not my first language) I did not find at all hard. All the characters developed a little more and there are some interesting new characters. You also learn a little more about Altania and Ivarel. The end suggests a new story so I hope a new book will soon be published. (
