I liked the first one better, perhaps because I didn't like the audio format on this one? I don't know, it didn't click as well.

Lucie and Tristan's story was such a fantastic addition to this series about strong men and women and the struggle for women's rights in 19th century England! I adored both main characters to equal degree, and loved them together even more. Even as HEA romance, I was so curious to see how these two could end together by the end?! With all the odds against them?!! They both deserve so much, I was worried for them, okay. As I'm working on my undergrad thesis, which incorporates contemporary journal discourse surrounding late 18th century prison systems, the periodical talk in this book got me so excited. Dunmore has clearly done her research, and I appreciate every moment of her smart, informed romances. This series has the perfect blend of romance, history, and activism, and it never disappoints.
