A Shape on the Air is Book 1 of the DuLac Series.
What a fascinating topic... a time slip...
I do love my historical fiction, and when mixed with an element of fantasy... perfect!
Viv (our modern-day character) is strong, resourceful, professional, and extremely intelligent. She's an academic, and I loved this about her.
Lady Vivianne (our past character) is exactly the same strong, resourceful, and extremely intelligent. Ultimately, she is probably ahead of the times, so to speak.
The way Julia weaves these 2 stories is incredible, and she effortless takes us between the characters without any awkward gaps or awkward scene changes.
The story is very easy to follow, full of twists and turns as we try and solve the overall mystery of why this time slip has occurred and ultimately... why are these women connected.
A great read!
