it was ok
bookshelves: fantasy, victorian, school

I liked the concept, and the two little girls, but the book as a whole was poorly balanced and needed editing. The tone was too self-righteous and didactic, and the bulk of the pages were devoted to set-up and criticism of Victorian society (merited, but hardly requiring a lengthy exposition in a modern fantasy novel). When conflicts/dangers occur they get handled too easily to create much tension.
