I couldn’t put this down! Silvia Moreno-Garcia paints a whirlwind of drama that kept me sucked in. I should read more Regency-esque romances…

There’s intrigue and romance aplenty in Silvia Moreno-Garcia’s fantasy set in a world inspired by late 1800s France. It’s Austenesque in its focus on manners, with a dash of Wuthering Heights level drama, and a pinch of fantasy. It’s an addictive recipe sure to keep you reading.

I really enjoyed this book. It made me think of watching novelas (soap operas) with my mom when I was little. It was so dramatic in the end, and I loved it.

On paper, this most likely would not be a book that I would even try, let alone devour in about a day. But the fact that I did try it, raced through it, and thoroughly loved it, just shows the power of Silvia Moreno-Garcia’s superb skills.
