Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for giving me a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

I found the story and world in this book really compelling. It was incredibly interesting, and I wanted to know more with every page turn. I think, however, in an attempt to both world build and create excitement for a first book in a series- we lost some character development. It was sometimes difficult to tell who was saying what, and Klara’s internal dialogue was often…said aloud. Had this book been either a little longer, or, the sequel well promised already, I think we would have gotten more justice. I really enjoyed the way that Callaghan wrote of these classic characters in such a new way. The ending felt a little tidied up too much for my taste. It was then unraveled for there to make space for a sequel, and I feel a little confused about what the sequel would even be. I would love to see more of Lottie and Klara, and am intrigued if anything to see where this journey will go.
