I‘m glad I gave this a chance after having issues with the first book. It was really good. Sweet, smart, twisty.
Verity (the youngest of the Thaumas sisters) has been kept out of society by 1 of her older sisters. she finds out the reason: she can see ghosts. She flees after the revelation, taking a job painting a portrait for Alex, the son of a duke, but his family has their own secrets
Worldbuilding was much more straightforward, really fun.
