I was all set to LOVE this book. I loved A Northern Light, and I love historical fiction, not to mention the fact that I was a French major and studied abroad in Paris. However, I absolutely could not STAND the main character, the modern-day narrator, Andi. I found her voice overly dramatic and whiny, and while many people who don't read young adult fiction often might think that's how teenagers should sound, I could not disagree more. Though I know she's depressed, she was so frustrating I didn't really care. The action didn't really pick up until the book was almost over, so it took me ages to get into it. Overall, I was just disappointed.
