I just happened upon this book & loved every bit of it. I am hopeful for a sequel.

Great Story

Diana is unabashedly brilliant, in whatever setting she is put. Her determination to survive and her care for young Tipper made me love her immediately. Derek also is fantastic, a police officer who truly wants to do good in his area. Set in Victorian England, this story held me through twists and turns, and has quickly become one of my favorites. The narrator does an excellent job with voices and bringing the story to life.

I really enjoyed this one. It kept my interest the entire time and it flowed very well. It is appropriate for most audiences.

Great narration, solid story

I expected this to be a fun, light read - and it was! But it was also rather like jumping happily into a puddle, and falling in up to my elbows. I got sucked in fast by the "street rat with a heart of gold" theme, and loved Di thoroughly by the end of it. Thankfully, her character shone through the book, instead of being clumsily beat into my head with false-feeling situations and the use of other characters to blow smoke up her butt (looking at you, all recent YA fiction).

The author pulled off steampunk-meets-space charmingly, and the world building was in-depth but not overwhelming. The plot wasn't ground-breaking, and I wish the book was longer, but it was fast-paced, well-written, and again - fun! On top of it all, Di and her friend, Tipper, had some really poignant moments of hope in the face of hardship that had my eyes watering a bit, and there were a few very pretty gems of writing that had me rewinding the audiobook just to hear them again.

I will absolutely be recommending this to friends.

Wonderful
