First of all, Mr. Bower was an excellent reader/performer having consistent different voices for all of the characters.
Rossamund is finally venturing out to live out his destiny as a lamplighter after living at Madam Opera's Estimable Marine Society for Foundling Boys and Girls. As he journeys through the Half-Continent to his place of employment, he encounters delightful people, mysterious people and evil people. Excitement and interesting characters abound.
Book # 1 ends with a satisfying conclusion, but alludes to new problems and mysteries to come.
I especially loved the writing style. Mr. Cornish's word choice and carefully crafted sentences enable the story to come alive in one's mind.
*Highly recommend.
