My only criticism was that the narrative seemed to lose its way at times and there were points where the pacing was slow. I feel that the story would have had a greater impact in a shorter format, without so much padding. However, I enjoyed the book and thought it tied in well with the rest of the series, adding an extra dimension to the character that we have already come to care about. Many thanks to the publishers for my review copy.
The book works perfectly well as a standalone novel, but for some more background on the Gilbie Family and Matty's beginnings, we recommend [[Custard Tarts and Broken Hearts by Mary Gibson|Custard Tarts and Broken Hearts]]. We also enjoyed her [[Gunner Girls and Fighter Boys by Mary Gibson|Gunner Girls and Fighter Boys]] and [[Jam and Roses: The Lives and Loves of 1920s Factory Girls by Mary Gibson|Jam and Roses: The Lives and Loves of 1920s Factory Girls]].
