This book made me cry, that's how good it was. “I will go out again this very night with my rockets and fuses. I will blow them straight out of their comfortable beds. Blow the rooftops off their houses. Blow the black, wretched night to bits. I will not stop. For mad I may be, but I will never...

Halfway in, very enjoyable so far.Finished. Made me want to read more about the French Revolution, the last Dauphin, and also some of the articles about music Donnelly referenced in her bibliography.

For the most part I really liked this book–I thought Andi was conflicted without being over-angsty and I liked the weaving together of past and present. However (and thiss is slightly spoilery) I was less pleased by the time-traveling aspect. It came so late in the plot and seemed out of place and w...
