An amazing historical fantasy read. This is my first time hearing about Nannerl Mozart and I immediately had to do more research into her story. Marie Lu did such a fantastic job at weaving historical elements of Nannerl's life into this story and making the reader reflect once again on how history is written only by those with power - in this case, men.
A great book for fans of Naomi Novik and Studio Ghibli too.
