The first in a dazzling, commercial, historical adventure series set in the extravagant and deadly world of the French Revolution. A whirlwind of action, science and magic reveals, with a diverse cast of fearless heroines, a band of rebels like no other. Camille, a revolutionary's daughter, leads a band of outcasts - a runaway girl, a deserter, an aristocrat in hiding. As the Battalion des Mortes they cheat death, saving those about to meet a bloody end at the blade of Madame La Guillotine. But their latest rescue is not what she seems. The girl's no aristocrat, but her dark and disturbing powers means both the Royalists and the Revolutionaries want her. But who and what is she? In a fast and furious story full of the glamour and excesses, intrigue and deception of these dangerous days, no one can be trusted, everyone is to be feared. As Camille learns the truth, she's forced to choose between loyalty to those she loves and the future.

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.

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.

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