This book was such a fluffy alternate history that I couldn't help but love it! I could definitely see the critiques of confusing writing style and lack of characterization for some readers, but I personally quite enjoyed how this story was put together. It was hopeful, full of etiquette and technology, and I am highly anticipating more.

What a fascinating book. I won’t say I enjoyed the idea of the British empire ruling over everything. But I liked the (as of yet, fantastical) concept of “no racismâ€

It's a little bit crazy that E.K. Johnston wrote a world in which the British Empire won and excepted me to give a shit about romance tbh.

The book was hard to follow for me. The history that was changed was something I knew little about so the changes and names were had to follow. I also felt like the characters had no emotions, that they were just going where they were taken. It took all that was in me not to DNF this book.
