Review Detail

The Explosionist is set in an alternate history about what could've happened if Napolean had won the Battle of Waterloo. This book deals with everything: ethics, history, science, spiritualism, terrorism...
This book had mystery, action, and murder.
I thought Sophie's character was very interesting because of how opinionated she was. She knows when to ask for help, but she doesn't depend on others to finish what she needs to do.

There was too much history and science in this book for me so I didn't enjoy it as much as I wanted to. However, I'm sure that anyone interested in history, science, dynamite, spiritualism, or mystery then I have no doubt they'll love this book.
