A very good start for a new series: well developed characters, an amazing world building and a plot that keeps you hooked till the last page and flows without any issue.
I look forward to reading the next installment in this series.
Highly recommended!

One good things about ARC is the number of amazing series you discover. This is one of those cases.
I was hooked since the first pages, I found it engrossing and entertaining, it made me laugh.
I liked the humour, the well developed cast of characters, the plot that kept hooked till the last page making me turn pages as fast as I could.
Now I have a whole new series in my TBR and I'm more than happy that I discovered it.

It's a good sci-fi that reminded me of some sci-fi classics even if the story has some level of originality.
I liked how the plot was developed, the multilayered plot and the fleshed out cast of characters.
The plot is engrossing even if it's quite slow at times.
It's the first book I read by this author and won't surely be the last.

An excellent historical mystery, well written, engrossing and entertaining.
It's a page turner I read it as fast as I could.
I appreciated the cast of characters, well written and fleshed out, and the detailed and well researched historical background.
I especially loved Abigail, a strong and unconventional woman.
The mystery was very good, full of twists and turns, and it kept me guessing till the end.
Even if this is the second installment in a series I had no issue in understanding the plot or the characters.
I look forward to reading the next installment.

It's well written but I couldn't connect to the characters. Not my cup of tea.

This is not an easy and fast read, it takes time to be hooked and it's quite slow paced but if you're patient you're in for a very good reading experience.
This is a mix of different genre: gothic novel, historical mystery, fiction and it's wonderfully written and well researched.
It's not a book for impressionable people as there's a lot of gore and blood and violence.
I loved the Ruth and Dorothea, how the plot was developed and the well researched historical background.
It's the first book I read by this author and it won't surely be the last.
