This is the first book I read by Natasha Pulley and I wanted to read it because I found the blurb fascinating.
I wasn't disappointed as this is a fascinating story that mixes genres and makes you think.
There's plenty of things I loved and the alternate history side was excellent as it describes a UK which is a French colony.
The world building is excellent, the characters are fleshed out and the complex plot flows and never drags.
It was an excellent read and I found it gripping, entertaining and thought provoking.
Highly recommended.
Many thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for this ARC, all opinions are mine
