This is the third book in the Electric Empire series. I was unable to find how many books are planned for this series, but this would be a decent book to end the series on. This was a good read, I didn't like it as much as the first book but it was on par with the second book.
The beginning of this book was horribly slow and I really struggled with it; I almost stopped reading it a couple times. Luckily the last third or so of the book was very fast-paced and interesting, leaving me to wonder why the first part was so slow.
I think part of my issue with this book is Eliza; I enjoy her less and less as a character with each book. She just comes off as very hypocritical with the way she represses and admonishes Lizzie. I liked Lizzie a lot in this book, but unfortunately most of the book is from Eliza's perspective.
There were a few scenes in this book where Eliza and Remy are talking politics together and these scenes were mind-numbingly boring. There is a lot of throwing around of names and discussion of things that don't really pertain to the story.
Things are wrapped up fairly completely at the end of this book. This seems like it would be a good book to end the series on. However, I am not sure if it actually is the last book or not. I personally don't plan on reading any more books in this series (whether or not this is the last book). The pacing in this book was too inconsistent and there were parts that were very boring.
Overall an okay read. I loved the ending but really struggled with the beginning. This wraps things up nicely. I would tentatively recommend this series if you are a fan of the whole gaslight steampunk genre. The first book was amazing and the following two books are decent enough to be entertaining.
