I I feel like i am giving this a very unjust rating as i liked the first 40% or so, but i got so uninterested the more the main character annoyed me. I haven't skim-read something so fast, for the last 25% of the book. Any other time of my life i probably would've really enjoyed this but I just wasn't in the right headspace I think....more
I'm giving this 3.5 as I felt it was super dragged between the 40-80% mark but then the final 15% was the most rushed everI'm giving this 3.5 as I felt it was super dragged between the 40-80% mark but then the final 15% was the most rushed ever...more
This was so easy to read cause nothing was over explained and the writing was very simple - although that doesn't always mean a good thing!

There were several times that some language was used by the author that just felt a bit childish and simple - and stopped the story from feeling complex enough to be good (if that makes sense??).
Some moments felt rushed and others felt like a drag, there was never a good inbetween. That being said, I enjoyed the premise of the story, even if the final few chapters did piss me off......more
I really enjoyed this book! I was addicted to Ford's character and personality :)

I loved the science of the time that was included, and the appearance of incredible scientists of the time like Newton.
The only reason I dropped a star is because poor Ford had such a hard time convincing Violet of his love and her constantly refusing his proposals time after time really irked me... especially her self doubt got quite irritating towards the end.
So the phantom of the opera is one of my favourite musicals of all time, but every time I try to read something around that musical IDNF at about 70~%
So the phantom of the opera is one of my favourite musicals of all time, but every time I try to read something around that musical I just can't stand it. I quite liked the first 30% or so but after that once the Phantom had Scarlett in his 'grip' I was just bored of their lack of chemistry and boring chit-chat. Idk, the writing and story just didn't do it for me. I am using this second attempt failure at a POTO re-telling as a sign to not ruin the musical for me from now on.
Don't get me wrong, everyone else might love it, but it just wasn't 'it' for me....more
I enjoyed the book, but I didn't enjoy it as much as the first two.

I just felt like the relationship development wasn't as strong in this one compared to the first two in the series, and that put me off it a bit - it felt very rushed and random.
