Publisher's Summary
Les Misérables meets Six of Crows in this thrilling adventure as a young thief finds herself going head to head with leaders of Paris's criminal underground in the wake of a failed French Revolution.
A CITY DIVIDED
A DEADLY BETRAYAL
The French Revolution of 1828 has failed, and Paris is in mourning.
The wretched of the city have gathered into guilds of thieves, assassins and worse, to form the Court of Miracles.
When Eponine's sister is sold into the Guild of Flesh, both their fates are sealed. The only chance Eponine has of rescuing her is to join the Miracle Court and steal back what was taken.
But to do that she'll have to become the greatest thief the city has ever known.
Critic Reviews
"As Nina's quest...takes her from the catacombs to the palace, from the company of beggars to revolutionaries to the Dauphin himself, the balance between fairy tale and realism is beautifully maintained. Beguiling, in an Angela Carter-like way." (SFX)
"A dark, thrilling tale of what goes on in a fantastical Parisian underworld...come for the world-building and Les Mis connections, stay for the heroine." (Starburst)
Strong, feminist fantasy." (STYLIST)

Easy read
The book has great characters and an intriguing setting in the underbelly of Paris in the time of revolution.
Overall a fun listen, but the one thing that irked me is the constant flirting between the main character and a whole host of male characters. Seemed unnecessary to plot development, all the kissing and blushing felt forced and cringey, and lent a very teenagery feel to an otherwise solidly written story.
