Starred review from May 6, 2019
Allen’s third visit (after Kiss of the Spindle) to her lightly supernatural, steampunk fairy tale world is a clever riff on the “Rapunzel” story that blends exotic undersea travel with a dark mystery and a glee-inducing, respect-first romance between awkward colleagues. The setting seamlessly merges mechanization and magic with Victorian social concerns. Mysterious Romanian count Dravor Petrescu arrives in London claiming to be the unknown uncle of Hazel Hughes, a brilliant physician’s assistant and healer. All her life, Hazel has dreamed of having a twin; Petrescu says he has the twin in his castle, Coppergate, and wants to take Hazel to meet her. Hazel’s employer, friend, and secret admirer, surgeon Dr. Samuel MacInnes, insists on accompanying her on the count’s submarine. Allen’s comedic writing peaks in Sam’s sarcastic automaton butler, Eugene, playing on the tropes of both the overmeticulous British servant and the hypercompetent android. Though the novel stands alone perfectly, series fans will appreciate cameos by the strong heroines of the earlier installments. Readers who love witty adventure-romances between competent, mutually reliant equals will gobble this one up.

Elizabeth Knowelden narrates a chaste romance that owes as much to Dracula as it does to Rapunzel. When Hazel Hughes learns that she has a twin sister in need of her help, she immediately agrees to travel to Romania with the mysterious Count Petrescu. Sam MacInnes is worried about Hazel's safety and insists on accompanying her on the journey. Knowelden's portrayal of Hazel reflects the young woman's growing confidence in herself and her abilities but always maintains a tinge of self-doubt. Sam is slow to acknowledge the true depth of his feelings for Hazel, but when he finally does, Knowelden makes his revelation shine brightly. While Count Petrescu's accent may not be authentically Romanian, Knowelden maintains it and a menacing tone faithfully. K.M.P. � AudioFile 2019, Portland, Maine
