Pros & Cons

Pros

Couldn't recommend this gem of a debut enough. In spite of a bit of unevenness in the narrative, the aforementioned info dumps, and a point about two-thirds of the way through where it drags a bit, it's still a compelling read if you give it a chance....  Read More

There are layers of intrigue and you don't watch it unfold, in fact it’s the opposite, you watch it form and develop as the story progresses.

Lara elena donnelly’s amberlough is truly a pleasure to read. Donnelly's exuberant and complicated espionage thriller is a delicious adventure. Lara. Donnelly.

It's magnificently written-evocative, emotive and quieting bewitching.



Cons

The narration and voice acting is horrible. Voice acting is not easy, but listening to this dreadful. Over blown accents, lack of inflection.

It came at a great cost but he had no choice and he had to think for himself although i know there seems to be a lot of hate for him

Shipping


The book arrived way before it was supposed and was in greta condition


But as time passed i found cyril to be an ass aristide to be shockingly noble and cordelia to be a lovable scamp

Packaging/appearance


Just dont forget to pack heat and take a flask because you cant predict what could happen in the vibrant blazing city of amberlough

Competitiveness


I grabbed this one because it had been compared to cabaret my favorite musical


Some books however can get pretty close to perfect and amberlough is one of them


For one it is a lot more gender egalitarian than the time period its analogous to and it’s actually much less patriarchal and b...  Read More


Amberlough is an ucrony based on weimar berlin and the ospies refers clearly to the nazis

    The smell of spilled gin and stale cigarette 34straights34 fairly oozes from the pages

    Extremely atmospheric setting in a decadent city perched on the southern tip of a continent in a very 1920s feeling narrative just before the one state party ospies aka nazis overrun the city


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Its a secondary world but theres no magic and its clearly analogous to a time and place in our own world


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    It may as well have used real world place names and just been historical fiction


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Cyril is a broken character though we discover just how broken as the narrative progresses


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Cordelia grew on me after a bad beginning but perhaps thats the point
