5.0

This book, while set in the 1880s, is so incredibly timely, as Evie Dunmore sweeps the reader through a burning romance while also deftly covering tough topics like the occupation of the Levant, imperialism, and the stealing of cultural artifacts and the ethics of repatriation when the legal system fails. I absolutely loved how smart and deep this fourth installment of this series was. It was incredibly powerful, very well-written, and worth the wait. While I am very sad to see this series end, I can’t wait to see what Evie Dunmore writes next.
