The art is fantastic, I love the time period, but something about how the plot unfolds feels a bit.. off-beat, like a paragraph on every page is missing. You can still understand what is happening, but it's missing that little extra that would make the story flow all the better. I was confused as to who the main character was supposed to be at first because the sister was granted the majority of the focus in the first chapter and the FL was introduced afterward. Typically you introduce your FL first, lest you confuse the reader as to who the primary love interest is. I understand it was an alternative means of introducing the FL -- characters speaking about her -- but again, a lot of discussion about her and a lot of the sister's problems being the main focus for the establishing chapter has somewhat set the tone of the story askew, because now I am left with this feeling like the FL is a supporting character in her own story.
