I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I think that the world was super interesting and the search for Lourdes was a great way to introduce many different aspects of the city. Having said that, I think there were some instances of overly flowery language that felt a little forced, and the pseudo-romantic relationship evolved far too quickly. The world was great, but the secondary characters weren't nearly as developed as they should have been. I hope that gets rectified in the rest of the trilogy.
One thing that I don't know if I will ever get over, however, is the use of 'mucking' as a swear word. It took me out of the book every time.
