This reminded me a little of the Handmaid's Tale in the sense that the book is set in a world similar but different to our own. Clem and Aster were sisters who were Dustbloods who shadows had been stolen.
To pay off a long-held debt their parents had sold them to the Welcome House where they worked as maids until they were 16 when they were sold at auction to work as prostitutes.
The girls are marked with an enchanted tattoo which prevents them from trying to escape as well as marking them as property of the Welcome House.
It is very atmospheric and there is a certain amount of character development. i would be interested to see how the story evolves and what happens to the girls.
