Wanted a light change of pace so what can go wrong for a YA fantasy set in alternate French Revolutionary times? Just about everything- shallow one note characters, plotting you can see a mile away, and most unforgivable dropping of contemporary cliches (okay, agency, etc.) into what supposedly is world built fantasy vocabulary. Photo; how I feel about this book.

Today I did nothing which was so nice! I read Devil and the Dark Water and took the dogs for a walk since snow is finally melting. Got my nails done, had sushi and now picking up this

Julies_Bookshelf_Adventures Sounds like the best day!! I hope your evening continues to be wonderful. ♥️ 3y

The last of the balloon was swallowed up, and then they were free-falling into the most notorious prison in Paris.
Well, they were supposed to create a distraction.

This was my Illumicrate read for October, set in Paris in 1794. A group of outcasts band together to stop people being guillotined. When they come across a young girl who possesses a dark power and is haunted by different authorities.
This is the first in a trilogy, I did enjoy this one, interesting bunch of characters. #books

A Bullet ripped through the fabric of the hot air balloon, and Ada knew their whole plan had been a terrible mistake.

I am definitely planning on reading these two books in October. The tagged book will be my Illumicrate read and The Hungover Games my non-fiction book. #tbr

Birdsong28 I read your review glad you can be so honest. I have studied the French Revolution what were the main issues? @julesG 4y

julesG @Birdsong28 Thanks. As always I was annoyed at small things, like the cast going to a restaurant for dinner, ordering from a menu, drinking wine from glasses, having coffee from a silver pot set on the table - but the restaurant was described as looking more like a pub than a restaurant would. Not to mention that I seriously doubt there were many restaurants in 1794, and if so, they'd have a set menu and would be a rather stiff affair. 4y

julesG @Birdsong28 And right at the beginning of the book two characters crashed a hot air balloon into a prison. Yes, the brothers Montgolfier had their first success a decade earlier, still doubt it was easy to acquire a hot air balloon. 4y

julesG Every prisoner of importance had to have an iron mask, too. Definitely. @Birdsong28 4y

Birdsong28 @julesG It sounds like it is full of historical holes!! 📚 📖 4y

julesG @Birdsong28 add some plot holes and a bisexual love triangle and you have the perfect YA novel 😜 4y

GingerAntics Ugh. This book sounds like hell. 4y

CoverToCoverGirl Yikes! 4y

Crazeedi You are really doing good with your ARCs! I need to get back to the ones waiting for me! 4y
