Ms Griffin did a wonderful job world building making it very easy to picture the devastating effects that are brought on by the dreadful plague that was unleashed on this world. Relationships are forged with such care that I was totally immersed in this world the author has created. She also meets Aprils brother, a poet loving black sheep of the family Elliott, who runs the Debauchery club and can give her the numbness that she so longs for. There she meets a mysterious tattooed boy named Will she is instantly drawn to and who isn't as heartless as he initially seems. With April the Prince's niece, she finds a new world of fantasy, dresses, makeup, and a way to forget and not feel for a while. I found Araby to be an interesting protagonist, while she is young she has endured a lot in her years: the death of her brother the loss of her parents attention heartbreaking loneliness and the fall of the world as she knew it.
