A steampunk urban fantasy.
Magical action abounds in this well-written urban fantasy/steampunk adventure set in a futuristic Victorian time. Whilst meeting society types in London, a young girl struggles with psychic headaches threatening to kill her. Seeking out an occultist of ill repute for help, she embarks on a mystical adventure. We have past lives to explore, astral projections, incantations and magical battles, all from a first-person female protagonist’s perspective. It’s well-written, in a style reminding me somewhat of Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell. If you enjoyed that book or ones like it, you most certainly will enjoy this one.
