I haven't read anything this delightful in ages. It has a few historical inaccuracies and Americanisms™ that irked me, but it didn't put me off too much. Maybe it felt so inaccurate because my brain kept setting it in the Regency rather than 1883.

a little quick for me, But It was a lovely little read 

DNF at 37% because I don't quite care about it? I feel like it would be a 3 star at best, but the characters just seem to do whatever is most convenient for the plot rather than behaving consistently, and a lot of them are blurring together.

Oh 
This
Book. 
I loved the characters, the tension, the world building. And the prose. Some paragraphs are so beautiful. The love story nearly made me cry. A new forever fav I’m sure I’ll return to as Charlie returned to his favorites.

I did not expect this to end how it did but I’m not mad about it. I love the little twist at the end. 4.5 ⭐️
