WELL WELL WELL. i finally finished this. and I have THINGS TO SAY!

i started it in between studying for exams in february i believe, and i was reading a couple of chapters every night before i slept. at first it was certainly very interesting and i liked some lyrical sentences here and there but then my exams were over so my brain forgot abt it as it was connected with post study rest before bed.

when i continued reading again, i was off the momentum i'd say, so it was a little bit boring at times. the last few days i read and now I'm done and I'm rambling but a bit after the middle point it became SO intriguing i was hooked. i was so caught up in the writer's path as to who the most probable suspect was and i was scared it would be true, but the REVEAL was worse for my little heart:'((

BUT I REALLY LIKED HOW IT ENDED. and oh god that last page. LETS GOOO AUDREY ROSE AND THOMAS IN ROMANIA HEHDVSBJSKSKD!

Anyway what more. I liked the characters!! Their chemistry!! The mystery and historical accuracy!! It was really good. i will admit that maybe it wasn't amazing as a book for me? i think it'll be the case that I'll fall for the characters and the series in general, just like it happened with the folk of the air and shatter me maybe.

PS i don't know if i can restrain myself from starting the next book, i had PLANS and TBRS scheduled ughh

I absolutely fell in love with this story when I first read it and I just fell even more in love with it upon reread. This was my first historical fantasy book and I fell in love with the genre. I really loved Kerri Maniscalco's take on Jack the Ripper. I love how Audrey Rose didn't care what society thought of her fascination with studying science and dissecting bodies. instead of doing what society deems appropriate. I loved the growth of Audrey and Thomas' relationship and I am very excited to read more of their adventures.

while the book was very thrilling and I enjoyed it, I feel like a lot of aspects were woven in and then just forgotten about/never explained fully? idk whether that will be picked up on in following books though.

I don't think it needed the lovestory, really, but I guess it can't be avoided
