    About this ebook

    When Prince Rodolfo's monsters attack her, Petra Kronos is spirited away to London. As she struggles to escape, Neel and Tomik sail the high seas, in search of her. Though separated by many miles, the three friends draw closer together in this sequel to The Cabinet of Wonders, called "astonishingly accomplished" by Publishers Weekly. Readers will not be disappointed in this adventure-filled novel that includes man-made monsters, the unraveling of a murder mystery, and the hunt for the Celestial Globe, which the prince of Bohemia will do anything to own.

      I found this to be a fun and fast-paced sequel to The Cabinet of Wonders, but somehow lacking in some of the charm of the earlier book. I missed the East European setting as most of this book takes place in London, the steampunk atmosphere seemed to be mostly missing, and a good deal of the appeal of the characters was lacking as well. Still it was an exciting adventure with Petra, Astrophil, Neel and Tomik, plus a few new characters to find the elusive Celestial Globe. I will probably keep reading the series as there were hints at the end of this book that the next one will be set in the Romany capital somewhere in India, and that sounds intriguing.
