I had been wanting to read this for a very long time and I'm happy to say that it did not disappoint! It's a murder mystery set in an alternate steampunk magic London, seasoned with enough magic to make things very interesting. Frankly, I loved the world-building. The two main characters, Ned Ma...
Solid writing; a few typos don't count. An excellent historical with a dash of magic. Non-romantic relationship (not for the lack of interest on both MCs part), mystery suspense and scenes of past abuse dominate this story.

No rating, I just tried a sample but haven't managed to read it up to the end.Don't know why I picked it up. Steampunk is NOT my genre. NOT even a little bit.

This book has all the elements to be part of a saga, and surprisingly, it is not. I have a weakness for plot taking place in Victorian London. Everything seems nicer -in a creepier way-, more mysterious, darker. And it is also steampunk. Both main characters, Julian and Ned, are kind of Sherlock-ish...
