For 542 pages it reads quick. Enjoyed the story about the London Fire. I would read the first book in the series before going to this one.

This will be a cliff notes review: This is a YA book in my opinion.
It's a fabulous way to read about the Great Fire of London in 1666.
There are a lot of people to keep track of which can be a deterrent.
I do like learning history this way - being in the middle of the event with all the sights and smells, and crazy(though modern at the time) beliefs.

After a bit of a rough start, I found this to be a thoroughly serviceable, well-researched historical adventure/mystery. Would I read Ms. Quinn's work again? Possibly not, unless she finds herself a harsher editor, as this work is overlong and needlessly confusing at times. Chop out 50 pages or so and I think it would be improved.
I received an ecopy from the publishers and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

Having read the first in this series I looked forward to the arrival of Fire Catcher. However I found I soon got restless while reading and just did not get as caught up in the story this time around.
