I thought this was a (mostly) well-executed and enjoyable read. Pandora delivers on the promise of lovable characters, and the dexterity with which the novel weaves Ancient Greek myth and antiquity with the grit and glamour of Georgian England is impressive. Mainly, I really enjoyed reading it!

However, the writing style at times felt slightly forced, in that the dialogue felt what I can only describe as 'old-timey'; this isn't inherently negative, it just felt a little unnatural at times. Nevertheless, it's still worth picking up!
