"Chokshi delivers a thrilling, gritty new fantasy set in an alternate nineteenth century Paris... Chokshi shines as a master storyteller in her newest novel; the setting, world building, plot, and conflict are all staggering. However, the elements that perhaps shine the most are the history, riddles, mysteries, and science, woven together in a world brimming with power and magic." -- BOOKLIST, Starred Review

Kaleidoscopic narration complements the intricate, high-stakes plot and allows Chokshi to showcase numerous aspects of her richly imagined universe all the way to the closing cliff-hanger." -- PUBLISHERS WEEKLY, Starred Review
