I find hard to describe this book because it somehow reminded me of Gail Carriger, I think the simil Victorian setting, the witty dialogues and how Sybil is written reminded me of the Parasol Protectorate (I adore it).
At the same time there're some gothic part and I also love them.
It was like eating a big cake, one of those case full of colourful decorations and with the right taste. A cake you cannot stop eating and enjoying.
This book is excellent, entertaining, enjoyable and wasn't able to put it down.
It was not love at first page but the kind of love you develop reading and that will last.
The world buidling is incredible, the humour, the well written cast of characters. I can say I loved it all and I hope this is the first in a series because I want more cakes like this.
Highly recommended!
Many thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for this ARC, all opinions are mine.
