MY REVIEW: Lady Arabella Trunkett’s father, the High Lord Minister of Urbannia is kidnapped in the middle of a ball and the country of Gandiss is framed for the crime to stop the signing of a peace treaty with Urbannia. Belle suspects that something else is going on and when she finds a mysterious clue left by her father, she runs off to the rescue of her father. Belle is an independent business woman, she invented steam-powered spinning wheels. I really like steampunk and I like strong female characters so I was enjoying this book a lot. The writing is really good. The pacing is really good. I was drawn into the mystery and adventure. Belle is reunited with a dashing scoundrel from her past who reminded me of Han Solo. 5 stars.
