About this listen

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 Morts 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.

I've read an early ARC last year and loved it.
But going back into this world as an audio book was a wonderful experience that got me out of a big reading slump!
If you love France or revolutions or a familiar world with a bit of magic or all three, you should definitely give this one a go!

Amazing beginning of a great series!

There were some good moments and world building but overall the plot was quite poor. The theme of ‘choices’ was very repetitive qnd got a little boring. I liked the LGBT themes and characters but didn’t really believe in the relationship between the two main characters and in fact thought they should probably just split up. The way it was written, a lot of the plot didn’t make sense to me and I was left feeling quite exasperated.
