Prosperity by Alexis Hall
5.0
Reread April 2022 via audio, Byron Kae gets all the stars and is all the stars and is of all the stars. ✨
Wow, doing this book as audio definitely gave it a different feel. Nicholas Boulton, is there anything you can’t narrate??? He really got the thieves cant down, it was so well done!
My feelings on our dear narrator, one Piccadilly, lately of the sky town Prosperity, are sommat changed. In my initial reading of this I found him rather annoying, but he’s definitely grown on me. Maybe that’s from having read Liberty, maybe it’s from listening to the audiobook, I don’t really know. Though Byron Kae is still my favourite, with Milord not far behind.
This book is an absolute delight and I look forward to many more rereads.

Oh, I so enjoyed this book! I may have been slightly pressured into purchasing/reading it, but I’m glad I was.
I haven’t read a lot of steampunk (in fact, I think I’ve read 3 steampunk novels prior to this), but this was great. I really loved all the main characters, especially Byron Kae, and also Milord, which I feel a bit weird about because he’s obviously supposed to be the grey-area character, and he’s pretty awful for most of the book, but I really liked him anyway? I honestly found Dil to be a bit obnoxious… I mean, I still liked him and all, he was just a bit obnoxious.
I’m not sure what this book is categorized as, but as AJH’s books are usually romance, maybe that? Though I would say it’s much more adventure with a splash of romance. Maybe not even romance, but adventure with several fairly detailed sex scenes? Whatever it is, it worked, I loved it. I’m looking forward to reading more Prosperity stories!
