3.5/5 stars

Oh poor Charlotte, girl gets saddled with the shittiest time ever to take over.

I'm super curious to see how thing work out for Charlotte + Jack + Jack's brother. I love me a good love triangle with brothers...when it's done well!

There's lots of alternative history-steampunk-scifi vibes with almost a Peter Pan twist. Really neat concept that just needs more world building. Sadly, that part was pretty weak and it took away from the book. For example there were words like "ship" thrown around but explanation really. this has the potential to be an incredible cool setting.

The politics and contrast of the world in the catacombs and New York was really cool. I love seeing independent women thrust into patriarchal and hierarchal societies. It reminds me of Diana in the Wonder Woman film. I'll definitely be picking up the sequel when I get a chance.
