• 4 POVs, 6 main characters
• Stolen treasures (imperialism)
• late 19th century Paris
• found family
• autism rep (not explicitly stated)
• bit of romance

Honestly didn't know what to expect from this and I really enjoyed this. The world building is fascinating, the magic and everyone's backstories were expertly crafted. I'm looking forward to the rest of the series!

The male audio narrator was not my fav but it didn't completely ruin it for me. There's a lot of visual puzzles that make more sense if you're reading the physical books (because there are diagrams etc)

4.5

The world building and character development in this book is absolutely phenomenal; I felt like I was immersed in the characters' universe while reading. I would describe the writing style as very detail-oriented and descriptive, with lots of dialogue interspersed. I loved the characters' friendships with one another and I appreciated the humorous interlude jokes included in the book as a way to ease the tension from the action and suspense that was happening. The only reason I took off half a star was because there was one part of the ending that I didn't like but aside from that, this was a very enjoyable read. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who likes reading fantasy and adventure books!

how do i even start..to say it simply, it’s a masterpiece! this is one of the most talented authors i’ve ever seen..her skill and intelligence is so evident in the pages that you can’t help but admire..the characters are their own entities and work well alone and together..super cool plot..i’ve got to say for me, personally, it was kinda slow at times because there are a lot of descriptions but it’s so beautifully described that you feel you are part of that world completely

anyway to conclude, HIGHLY RECOMMEND 4.75⭐️

-found family

-heist 

-angsty romance

Oh my god this was so good 
I need the next one like now 

TRISTAN DIED??? I LOVED HIM NO :( 
That thing with the birds was a bit creepy but I’m assuming Tristan had some kind of mind issue because of that stupid Phobus Helmet so I can’t blame him :(

 
The action and story of this were incredible I’m really glad I finally picked this up 
I got it from my library so I need to buy it but I will be getting the next two from the library I need to know what happens next
