3.0

this started out so strong for me but really fell off once they went to London. the stakes seemed to disappear after about halfway through and just led to Gracewood and Viola having the same conversation over and over, mixed with a random pointless kidnapping plot. i loved the idea here but think it would have been executed better if the book was slower paced or Viola’s identity was revealed to Gracewood further into the book.
