Lumière by Jacqueline GarlickMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
Received a free copy for review from NetGalley.
****
Lumiere is a steam-punk, alternate reality adventure.
At the turn of the century, Eyelet Ellsworth is looking for her father's invention that she believes will save the Commonwealth, if not the world. On the way she meets a cast of interesting characters, one being an unusual love interest, Urlick Babbit.
Garlick's imagination is one of a kind. Her inventions and world-building are ingenious and the cast of characters unique, and actually quite refreshing.
I could not put the book down once I got past the first couple chapters. At first, I was wondering if it was a totally different planet they lived on but after a bit, I realized it was just an alternate Earth.
I was on edge the entire book. It was non-stop adventure from start to finish. At times I was actually scared, like, for real. Like I was reading a horror story at times.
Garlick provides amazing imagery in this book, with an action-packed story line that makes me excited to jump right into book 2.
