This is a romance novel: misfit meets misfit and they fall in love; the story of two people trying to meet up in London, which turns out to be not as easy as you might think.
I liked the way the author combined the minutiae of daily life for the main characters, while seamlessly weaving in detailed back story.
However, at times the lack of plot driven action makes the books dull.
At times, it was confusing; for example Jon's colleague, Chalice's menacing monologues were well-written but out of place as there was no preamble for his threats. And there was also overly-pretentious fillers sporadically throughout the entire book - written as tableaux of typical London life, they come across as unbidden interruptions in an overlong story. They add to page length, and nothing else. They have no bearing on the main story, nor do they impact the characters in anyway.
