I really enjoyed all the characters in this book and the plot was quite exciting. While some things seemed a bit historically inaccurate (besides the obvious magic/alchemical plot piece), the author did a good job of recreating a world of the 1700s upper-class and aristocracy but also the different types of people around the continent that they could encounter on The Tour. However, I wish the author kept it more in the realistic realm and didn't delve into the fantastical for a plot line. I think it would have been more interesting that instead of encountering an actual magical heart in an actual undead woman buried on a sinking island paved with bones, that they opened the tomb to find it wasn't what it was promised to be - that could have caused the same events to take place, but without any out-of-place fantasy elements. Overall, thoroughly enjoyed and I really hope to see more of Monty and Percy, especially since we don't actually know what happens to them once they get back to England or if they ever do.
