While an amazing look at an alternate history, one where the French Revolution started because of magic, and vampires are real but have been long gone from the world, with some truly great world building, I felt like the ending was a bit rushed. Towards the end, Pitt and Wilberforce's ambling conversations were a bit tiring, and I found that I was more interested in Robespierre, even though he was about to be killed. I wanted more of Fina in what is now known as Haiti, and only got so little. I wanted to know who the Voice was, and though I know that he will be using Napoleon now (hint hint he said that his next tool will rule an Empire), I just want to know who he is. Will I read the next one? Probably, yeah! I just feel like there was something more out of this that I could get and I'm not sure what it was yet...
