Overall an enjoyable read!
Attica is a badass heroine with strong motivations and a good story to follow.
The build-up to the French Revolution is not a period of history I know much about but I feel like the author was very good at setting the historic scene with all the detail about outfits and the cities and I loved the incorporation of real historical events and situating the characters in to help or hinder the situation.
It was very fast-paced, with short chapters, so I flew through reading it. However, I feel like there could’ve been a little more depth to it, it felt like some of the events could have been elaborated on and some of the minor characters were conveniently in the right place at the right time to push the main character onwards. Having said that, I may have missed out on some recurring characters’ development as I have not read the first book, and there was enough recap of their histories that you could follow the story easily so it wasn’t a major loss.
I loved the romance subplot, it didn’t overwhelm the story but was an enjoyable element to have running alongside the events taking place.
