If Oscar Wilde was a Badass Victorian Woman

April 5, 2016 by ModernLove 4 Comments

Weeks ago, on a rainy Friday afternoon, I needed something fun and uplifting to read. The lovely people of the CBR Book Club Facebook page threw a slew of recs at me, and this was one of the ones I ended up with. Y’all are good. This was exactly what I was looking for, and enough outside my usual reading zone that it made me feel happy for expanding my horizons (I’m not always a sci-fi or romance reader, and this one definitely has both involved). I’ve started the second book in the series, and I was going to wait until I finished and just review both at once, but life has gotten in the way so here we go with book one!

    I NOW WANT HAYLEY ATWELL TO PLAY ALEXIA IN A MOVIE SO MUCH IT HURTS. WHY DO YOU DO THIS TO A PERSON!

    ::ahem::

    That is a marvelous idea, and now I need to dream cast Maccon. I think the cast of Outlander might have some good options, but I’m going to FB to crowdsource.
