YA
This volume wraps up the Dispossessed trilogy that began with The Beautiful and the Cursed. A complicated paranormal romance set during the early twentieth century, the novel is rich in Parisian atmosphere and period details, as well as in the turgid accounts of forbidden love affairs; these romances, rather than the final showdowns between warring supernatural factions, will be what capture readers' affection.

YA
This sequel to The Beautiful and the Cursed offers another complex take on angels, demons, and gargoyles. The setting--Paris in 1900--is evocative, and the Waverly siblings' relationship continues to deepen. But the mythology is overly ambitious, and the plot and prose are sprinkled with clichés. Genre fans and those smitten with the first book may want to persevere to the triology's conclusion.
