When Hazel learns of a family member in trouble in far Romania, she and her employer Sam accompany a mysterious Count to help her. But how much can this Count be trusted?
I must admit I have a tendency to shy away from the Romance genre somewhat - it usually isn't my cup of tea. I was very almost put off completely by the rather naff cover but when I saw the blurb for The Lady in the Coppergate Tower complete with steampunk and magic themes I was intrigued enough to give it a go. For the most part I'm glad I did; the world that Nancy Campbell Allen creates is a fun one - a Victorian society with its class system and lavish balls mixed with mechanical contraptions and adding a touch of Magick as well. I really enjoyed the mashup and was fully immersed into the world.
I believe this book is one in a series which although has a standalone plot, uses characters from the other books. This didn't hinder my enjoyment although the first few chapters did feel a little overwhelming as we were introduced to a mass of characters very quickly. This settles down by the time the main plot kicks in and the actual story only has around 5/6 main characters to keep track of. I particularly enjoyed the character of Hazel - a woman trapped between modern ideas and the constraints of the society that she lives in - she is intelligent and quick to learn and was a great main character for the story. I did think the other main character Sam (her love interest) was a little one dimensional though - it says something when his mechanical 'ton servant Eugene had more personality than he did! I must admit I got a little frustrated by the constant monologuing from both of them about how much they liked the other, and the 'will they, won't they' got a little tiring at times when the plot was actually much more interesting. However, I am aware it is supposed to be a Romance book as well and it wasn't as overdone or cliched as it could have been.
Overall The Lady in the Coppergate Tower was a nice surprise - a romance with bite with a nicely drawn steampunk world. Thank you to NetGalley & Shadow Mountain Publishing for a copy of the ARC in exchange for an honest review.
