The Bullet-Catcher's Daughter by Rod Duncan
5.0
Just irresistible. Super-competent heroine, great world building, cool plot twists, suspense, characters that were both likeable and believable--really just a perfect adventure novel. I was completely caught up in it and found nothing to quibble with.
One element I really liked was that this doesn't take place in an alternative Victorian past, but, rather, in an alternative sort-of-present where technological innovation has been suppressed. I also liked the idea of Great Britain split between a kingdom and a republic. So, yeah, great world building, but mostly just top-notch entertainment.
Glad I snagged all three in the series in the Humble Bundle. Looking forward to diving into the next one.
