This is the third book in a series but the first I have read. I think I was at a slight disadvantage not having read the first two but not so much as it spoiled things for me because I was highly entertained by this book.

Not really my cup of tea.
I love period dramas but found this one ho-hum, humdrum. And I don't mean that because of the dull colors of the set and costumes or the squalor of London residents and mill workers. I didn't really feel anything for most of the characters, except for the one suffering from the fatal lung ailment, and really could not get into it. I watched the entire series, though, because I was curious about it but it didn't really connect with me. I have not read the book that this series is based on so my judgment is in ignorance.

I created a video explaining my slow decent into hating this series, book by book, for your viewing pleasure:




This one is better than the last one, but considering I'm comparing this to other books in this series and not saying it's all around 'good' or 'ok' should imply something to you. At least this one was faster paced, but the sentences in this one blinded my English professor so...

It's funny, even though there only one more book, I only see darkness at the end of the tunnel.
  
this is not really my cuppa for genres.. but it wasnt a badly written story.. i enjoyed the writing.. i enjoyed the characters.. and it was easy enough to follow and i like this author so i would love to read more by this author and maybe even more of this series. i am glad i got to review it
