Goodreads Synopsis:
In the heart of London
stands Sphere Music Hall, a venue that enjoys immense popularity amongst
the populace. However, the fervour with which its visitors return
causes consternation in the mind of Her Majesty, Queen Victoria, who
suspects the organisation of cult practices and sends Earl Ciel
Phantomhive and his impeccable butler, Sebastian, to infiltrate the
hall. They are met with none other than the disgraced erstwhile prefects
of Weston College and an otherworldly fortuneteller called Blavat, who
takes one look at Sebastian and divines his true nature without
faltering...!
Review:
There's a suspicious party going on downtown. Normally this wouldn't
cause concern, but people from all over are attending all the time,
and once they start, they don't stop. And now people are going
missing.
Ciel and Sebastian go to investigate, and meet a fortune teller, who
can immediately tell that something is wrong with Sebastian and kicks
him out. Ciel is playing at being a poor kid, and stays around to
investigate what's actually going on.
One of my favorite scenes in this was when Sebastian gets kicked out
and meets some women at a bar. And before that, he finds a cat. The
biggest problem regarding the party and the fortune teller, though,
is that Lizzy was going and is now missing, either from being taken
or “running away”. It's awful.
This volume was a lot of fun. A nice mystery going, with some good
humor mixed in. We get a pop culture element, as we meet an idol
group, which is odd in the setting. Mostly I'm worried about Lizzy, though, because I love her and
don't like the glimpses we've seen regarding her. Can't wait to see what happens
next.
