This is one of my most anticipated reads of 2019. 1889, Paris. Fantasy & Sci-Fi. Not my usually genre, but I’m expanding and so glad I am. Severin, who wants to gain back his Patriarch title for House Vanth, Enrique, the revolutionary & historian, Zofia, the Forger with a whole lot of social awkwardness, Laila, the dancer & Baker, and Tristan, the Forger of plants & Severin’s Family.
I’d call this a mix of The DaVinci Code & Harry Potter. It kept me guessing and kept the pages turning. The love, and hate, and sexual tension between the characters was phenomenal.
I felt like this was not YA, much more adult to me because the world building was so intense. I wish there had been a vocabulary page, at least, and at most a history lesson on this word at the beginning of the book. When I finish a book, I want basic questions answered and for me, they were not. I do not know if I will continue to read the series.
This book should be made into a movie ASAP. I think it would be magical.
I recommend this book with some buts...but it is difficult to understand with the terminology and world building....once you are used to it and immersed in it, you are good to go!
