Enjoy An Affair Of Poisons Constructed By Addie Thorley Listed As Softcover

still remember reading a few pages of the book a few years ago when it first published and I was instantly hooked.
Unfortunately I was unable to get it back then, so Im very happy to get

my hands on the book finally! Ive been waiting to find a story that has fully captured my interests and this story by far has swooped my love for history/historical fiction genre! I dont even remember how this book ended up on my TBR pile but Im glad it did!It takes a fun spin to a fascinating historical time in Paris.
The characters are interesting and well written, the romance works, This is really worth a read! Perfect to get out of a reading slump, the cover is covered in gold embossing which looks absolutely stunning when you hold it in the right light.
the storyline is so well written and the characters are likeable, i really enjoyed this book, i havent read it yet, but im so excited!! i cant believe it came autographed!!! I received an ARC of this book from the publisher via NetGalley for an honest opinion.
This alternate history begs the question: what if Louis the XIV has really been assassinated during the scandal called The Affair of the Poisons I had no idea of this event in history, and I enjoyed reading about it, then researching it after I finishedand the authors note at the end provided some wonderful details in the changes she made.
Like all good historical fiction, this book completely immersed me in the time period, The prose was lush and gorgeousI just couldnt get enough of Thorleys descriptions, They werent long and drawn out descriptions either, but they weave into the story and action beautifully.
Speaking of action, this book has it, and lots of it! I couldnt put it down, The pacing was perfect, not too slow at the slower moments, not too fast in those parts either.
There are some sword fights, magical smoke monsters because this book has some fantastical elements, nail biting alchemical scenes, and beautiful moments of character development.
I instantly fell in love with Thorleys two main characters, Mirabelle and Josse, Mirabelle is kind hearted, yet determined, clear minded, and dang smart, Her POV instantly hooked me, and I couldnt help but cheer for her throughout the book, And Josse! I didnt realize this was a dual POV when I picked it up, but he was so wonderful! He is prideful, cunning, and kind, perfectly flawed in the best way.
His character arc was definitely my favorite, This is a dual POV first person novel, but I didnt feel lost among the POVs, Their voices were very distinct, The romance, while predictable, was sweetI totally ship it! It also didnt take over the story, which I really appreciated.
I could probably say note, but instead, Im going to tell you, go read the book! It was such an unexpected little success for me, and Im going to recommend it like crazy! If anyone likess Paris with alchemy, poison, a hint of magic, and a lot of intrigue, this book is for you! var hmenu document.
