I was excited by this novel , potentially a perfect combination of books, magic and the lovely city of York- and indeed it is an enjoyable, romantic and thoughtful book.
Interesting characters develop, all with their own secrets and issues, and I loved the references to colours swirling round them, their dreams and the Signals , an area that I personally find fascinating.
At times, particularly earlier on in the novel, I found I was confused by some of the characters and their roles, and tended to race through the chapters where Maadar –Bozorg and Fabia were telling stories
It wasn’t quite the story I expected it was going to be, I would have liked there to have been more development of the magic theme, but overall it was very enjoyable and left me with a warm glow, which on a cold March day, can't be a bad thing!
