A favorite!

I read the first book in this series, The Cabinet of Wonders, and I knew I would have to read the next book. These books aren't really sold at much places, so I was so excited when I found this on here! Marie Rutkoski is a great writer, and I DEFINITELY recommend reading this book (as long as you have read the first one)!
