Now I'm sure I don't need to go into detail about how amazing every single story in London is, but sadly due to fate-ish reasons I am stuck in a small dilemma. I have just bought Flint and am left with 40 fate while considering buying another one of the other 4 stories left that are on sale. Considering that I can only buy one, I am curious to which one you guys would tell me to get? I've seen a lot of good word about ''Lost in Reflections'' and that's about it. But let's please vote, and also leave some reviews if you've played them. Only 1 and a half hour left after all until the sale ends, after all!
Thanks in advance, delicious friends!

They're all good! I'll lay out some basic summaries.
[spoiler]Hojotoho! is the lightest of the bunch - it's a fun romp with a group of heroic urchins who get caught up in the affairs of the powerful. It's heartwarming!
Lost in Reflections is more tragic - it's all about the revolutionaries, and the sacrifices they make for their cause. There's lots of the Bazaar and the Masters and other unworldly beings in it, as well as glimpses of the Surface, and even some hints of swashbuckling adventure.
The Gift is half a character study of the Empress' family, and half horror story. There's gore, there's depravity, it's fun for the whole family!
The Empress' Shadow is more royals, unsurprisingly, but this time it's more about Surface intrigue, power plays, the role of women in the grand game of politics, stuff like that.[/spoiler]

Jenny's Finishing School is a big bonus, since it refreshes cards. I use it also for favours.
On Hojotoho! the option on the Urchin card is easier to access than the result of the other ending -- I've played both, but how often does a body want to spend time in the F.O. given their proclivities!
I have also played The Gift more than once but never managed to make the decisions that open up the second ending -- clearly it runs too much against the grain of my character!
And I'm still dithering about the final decision on Lost in Reflections -- it's been months now! Not only a tricky decision, it also means closing off access to alternate history.
