Thank you to NetGalley for this ARC. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

This was so good !! If only there weren't pacing issues at the beginning. I went from hooked to drifting to hooked again. You could tell this was a work done with love for history. The research was so well done. Celia was absolutely compelling as a main character. The hardships she faced she faced due to being half-Chinese, as well as the class barrier between her and her love, became so fantastically convoluted. I learnt so much about the Portland Shanghai Tunnels through this and I'm excited to see more from Kristina McMorris.
