I liked the beginning more than the second half. The "bad guy" was a good choice, though. It made sense but was still a surprise to me. The whole Steam Walker/Fashion Designer/Male/Female character just didn't work. I suspect that the "martial arts & mystery book" fans have Lancet at the top of their lists. Not for me though. I kept thinking of the scene in Indiana Jones where Harrison Ford, faced with a sword twirler threat, takes out a gun and shoots him. The martial arts scenes were a stretch for me.
Excellent start . . . orphaned girl with a knack for chess, taught by janitor, harsh orphanage despite its courtly look.
