This is a beautifully written novel that I really didn’t want to finish. It explores the gaps between science and superstition, and between friendship and romantic love. I felt immersed in 1890s Victorian England. I loved the bits about the surgeon Luke Garrett and his companion Martha who was a suffragette as well.

This was the perfect mix of genres. The dystopian world that Burke creates was fantastic in a steampunk way. The fact that the characters are pirates adds yet another element. Both main characters, Rose and Miranda, are complex and the romantic tension between them is another element to this already complex plot.

Rolling Stone's 129th greatest album of all time
Talking Heads at their inimitable best. Once in a Lifetime is truly one of the best songs of all-time. The blend of post-punk stylings with a more pop angle, but without the cringey new-romantic nonsense marks them apart from their peers.

I enjoyed this.
I managed to keep up with the plot even though the vampire elves threw me off a little at the beginning. The romantic thing she had going on with a certain asassin was also kinda entertaining. I'm interesting in following both of these and I'm off to borrow book 2.

I really enjoyed this, it was a sweet, romantic Christmas themed story. It had a nice build-up to their relationship and I was willing them to get together from early on, especially with all the interruptions that kept happening and I just wanted them to ignore everything and get it on already!
