So, I have to admit that when I started reading this book I was so confused. But I think that’s more of a reflection of my concentration and mental state this month. I found when I left it too long between readings I lost the books train of thought. Luckily I started reading in depth the last 3 days and really got into it.

“Come home, if you remember”
Joe, pulling into London King Cross suddenly has no idea who he is or where he’s just come from. London is french occupied Londres now and although it all seems familiar, he remembers another life, a life that wasn’t like this. What if France hadn’t won the Battle of Trafalgar?

This is a slow burner with a lot of facts. The last third of the book really gather momentum and after the world building I really wanted to see how it would end for these characters. Love, memories and the sailing seas - this was a really enjoyable read.

Thank you to #netgalley for this e-ARC. #TheKingdoms #NatashaPulley

Natasha Pulley was literally insane for this

Interesting premise, very difficult to follow, good writing, but storyline got so convoluted.

I cannot properly express how this book made me feel. Natasha Pulley reached into my chest and slowly squeezed my heart tighter and tighter until it was positively unbearable but then the book was over and now I think I'm dead. I'm also in love.

Edit upon rereading: I wholeheartedly agree with my past self. This book makes my joints hurt with stress and love.
