The abilities that the diviners have are just as diverse as they are. Then there is the overlay of the paranormal part of the story. It is that attention to detail that really makes a historical setting sing. Some are only mentioned, but others the characters meet. I really appreciated the scattering of real people through out the book as well. You almost feel like you are there right along with the characters. The descriptions of the different areas of the city, plus the clothes that everyone wears, food that people ate as well as the language are all exceptionally well done. Bray does an excellent job of recreating New York City in the 1920’s. Probably the best thing about this series is the setting/world. It is easier to review the series as a whole without spoiling I think. But I finally came down on the side of series review because I didn’t want to spoil anything for anyone who hasn’t read all of the books. I debated for awhile about whether or not to do a series review, or just review the last book.
