I’ll definitely remember the big plot points, but I’m sure when the sequel comes around, I’ll need to reread this one. That being said, this is a story that will probably become forgettable in the coming months. I found myself quickly entranced in the story and able to become invested early on. It was enjoyable to read, I listened to this one exclusively as an audiobook and finished it pretty quickly. That being said, I thought this book was okay. I can see why people would hate this book. Like, we’re going through historical places, looking for treasure with mathematical or history-based clues. What I can say is that this book reminded me of YA Dan Brown. I’ve seen many people compare this book to Six of Crows, having never read Six of Crows, I can’t comment on that comparison.

This was a book I was terrified to pick up after a recent rise of negative reviews from people who tend to have similar reading tastes to me. What they find might change the course of history–but only if they can stay alive. Together, they will join Séverin as he explores the dark, glittering heart of Paris. To hunt down the ancient artifact the Order seeks, Séverin calls upon a band of unlikely experts: An engineer with a debt to pay. When the elite, ever-powerful Order of Babel coerces him to help them on a mission, Séverin is offered a treasure that he never imagined: his true inheritance. Here, no one keeps tabs on dark truths better than treasure-hunter and wealthy hotelier Séverin Montagnet-Alarie. The city is on the cusp of industry and power, and the Exposition Universelle has breathed new life into the streets and dredged up ancient secrets.
