I received an arc of the book from the publisher, via NetGalley in exchange for a fair and honest review.
This debut novel is a truly original fantasy/sci-fi book with steampunk and Victorian vibes. We follow 2 separate timelines for much of the book and see how they come together. The characters are well developed and often morally grey. The plot is intriguing, dark and complex.
