split Disenchanted Co into two parts The first part, Her Ladyship s Curse came out on August 12th 2013, and the second one will be available from October 14th However, if you want to wait and buy the whole book as a paperback or an ebook you can wait till January 2014.I can only imagine how frustrating it would be for a reader to buy part 1 without realising how abruptly it ends and then wait two months to read t...Read This Review More Like It On Ageless Pages Reviews This was coasting along a decent, if shallow, alternative history steampunk until that non ending reared its head to frustrate

t like the main character She is one of those too tough and independent to be smart female characters While this ends in a cliffhanger the first book is divided in two parts, don t ask me why , I am not that eager to read the second one Not saying I won t read it Kit was so annoying that I need a break.The world building is promising though The series is set in America that lost the Revol 2.5What

to warn potential readers that this story really is part 1 of 2 and it ends abruptly without closing anything off in either the mystery or with any of the potential romances the story comes to a sudden halt with a literal to be continued I was prepared for this so it didn t bug me but I know that some people hate that Still, I am looking forward to part two and,...I read this as one book The

this is actually one half of a book.There s a huge difference between being one half of a duology and one half of a book.I liked the story and the characters well enough But there were too many useless parts like lengthy descriptions of places and things, backgrounds of secondary characters that felt like being put there just to bloat the book s words count If you cut those parts out, you
