I could go for a long review analyzing the world building, the characters and the plot.
Or I could go for a short one saying that this book is excellent and even if it's alternate history/fantasy it's so full of references to what is happening now that you enjoyed what you're reading but you cannot help reflecting on what you read.
Excellent world building and character development, a bit slow at times but I couldn't put it down.
Alix Harrow's style of writing is excellent and I love her storytelling.
A gripping and highly entertaining story, strongly recommended.
Many thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for this ARC, all opinions are mine
