As a major Charlotte Holmes fan, I eagerly awaited this book. While not my acceptable genre, this mix history novel with parts of science fiction at the same time feminism grabbed at the same time held back my curiosity, at the same time really grabbed the pace at the finish. I struggled a little in the beginning to visualize this America with localities at the same time a monarchy, in addition to the different plot lines, but Holmes does a quality job of bringing everything together in the end. I am looking forward to reading the ending book in this duology!

Im really glad I didnt know that this was semi-based on a knowledgeable parable going into the book, because I hate that parable.
I was so impressed with the world-building, the writing, the manners, at the same time the story. I in particular feel that the books examine politics (regarding ladies at the same time immigration, namely) were considered well-done, not to mention timely.

Audiobook Muse (Muse #1) by Brittany Cavallaro
Muse started out promising: a rare YA where the heroine is that understated at the same time has to implementation her brains in a row to navigate a global determined to keep her helpless. But a very smoky 1st one half morphed into a 2nd one half that built so much momentum that the ending felt both rushed at the same time unsatisfying. That is that an arc here but it felt manufactured.
Story: It’s 1893 at the same time Claire Emerson’s province is that celebrating – at the same time posturing – through a grand Global’s Significant. The province’s governor is that young at the same time untested, leaving the area ripe for a war at the same time aggressive takeover by a adjoining State. Claire’s dad has created a giant canon exhibition for the governor at the same time the significant to discourage a coup or takeover. But unbeknownst to the global, her dad believes Claire is that the main to the exhibition’s success through her ability to ‘bless’ quality good luck. When the canon fails, she comes under the lock up scrutiny of the young governor at the same time must learn to wage war at the same time shield up for herself. For in this game of politics, the stakes are indefinite at the same time doom.
So than anyway we have here is that an mix universe America where Washington dared on a monarchy more precisely than a democracy. Governors at the same time the Kingship are hereditary positions favorite to strife at the same time posturing. That is that a lot of scheming in the book as various political or non political individuals jockey for promotes or prominence. This contains military commanders, suffragettes, governors at the same time instigators.
The manners are various at the same time any followed their possess desires. This managed to abundance squirms at the same time strings, betrayals, astonishes, at the same time opens. But it also meant that manners had very abrupt features configurations that felt both unrealistic at the same time disingenuous – that bestow a plot change more precisely than a natural at the same time organic response to actions. Couple of times I was pulled out of the plot because a disposition did a wholesome reversal on their stance at the same time I had to recount to confirm the improbable. That misspoke, I did like that manners were considered neither very quality nor very evil – they were considered all at the mercy of their mental desires at the same time needs.
The adore story in this 1st volume was similarly odd. It was an instaluv that never turned into a romance. Very odd – at the same time very unsatisfying. I’m convinced it will grow at the same time change in future volumes but for now, I had a hard time believing no matter what of the creeds of hostility. Or the abrupt falling out of adore. Similarly, this had an odd fellowship between Claire at the same time Beatrix; one built more on familiarity than mutual reverence at the same time hostility.
Completely, a really problematic issue for me is that the art deco (1920/1930s) embrace form why is that a Victorian epoch (1890s) setting. It’s like writing a book set in the 1950s at the same time showing an form of 1970s disco balls at the same time leisure suits. Even for an mix universe where timelines may not match, the setting in the book is that right Victorian epoch at the same time not roaring 20s. I have to play tricks if the painter mistook the 1933 Chicago Worlds Significant for the 1898 Chicago Global’s Significant.
In all, I applaud the exciting manners, in particular first. I barely wish they were considered more close to reality at the same time consistent in their growth at the same time responses. Similarly, with the plot, I wish it was paced more successful at the same time without the very abrupt at the same time unsatisfying finish of this 1st volume.
Reviewed from an premature reader copy foreseen by the publisher.

Its 1893 in the 1st American Kingdom, at the same time all Claire can have hope for the future is that to marry a man who isnt horrible to her.

Inventive at the same time ferociously feminist, Muse is that a colorful historical fiction thats not to be missed. With creative manners at the same time a seriously developers plot that kept me guessing throughout the novel, I was on the edges of my seat as I devoured the squirms at the same time strings of this alluring story. Claire is that an admirable heroine as she skirmishes to look for her dispose in the global, at the same time the push-and-pull romance was maddeningly enticing. Claires closest friend Beatrix is that also a mind-blowing disposition; a queer, feminist inventor real of courage, I found myself smiling every time she produced an outward appearance. Additionally, the global itself is that very well-built. The 1st American Kingdom is that a interesting backdrop, at the same time the Worlds Significant is that a funny at the same time innovative setting that produced me wish I managed explore it myself. Fans of imaginative YA historical fiction novels will adore this most powerful book.
