A Festive Juxtaposition

I loved this book because it was a dark, Dickensian, and charmingly dangerous series of linked short stories which is held together by the figure of the Devil himself.

London life is a major part of the story and I very much appreciated revisiting areas of the city that are familiar to me and also learning some new things about it. At the very end, we also get the opportunity to see how the people who have interacted with the Devil have changed as a result of their various meetings, and that made for a very satisfying finale.

It's odd,… show more.
