I didn’t catch all of the court intrigue—it’s not what I come to this series for. I love the gas lamp aesthetic, the magic system, the representation, the main characters’ sincerity, and above all, these books’ interest in liberation. This second novel follows Dame Grace Hensley as she confronts the crimes her father committed, her own privilege, the debate between incremental vs radical change, and her attraction to the journalist Avia Jessop.
