Noble Secrets by Cecilia Dominic
I’ve been eyeing the Aether Psychics series by Cecilia Dominic for a few months. The covers are eye-catching so I snatched up this opportunity to read a prequel novella to see if I would like the world and characters in the Aether Psychics universe.
I’m happy to report that I loved the world. A mix of Victorian London with a splash of fantasy, I was immediately connected with Pauline, an intelligent girl forced to hide her brains. She has a way about her that attracts the attention of the Duke. And suddenly I saw the story unfolding in front of me and I squealed with delight. (Don’t worry I won’t spoil it.)
While there isn’t much exposure to the universe that is more than likely created in the full novels in the series, this novella will give you feeling for how Dominic writes, builds her characters and paints the world in which her characters live. I was enchanted and only hope that I get to see more of Pauline and Christopher in the full novels or meet other delightful characters like them when I read the full novels in the series.

What was the last book that caught you by surprise?

Thank you so much for the review! I’m glad Pauline was a delightful surprise for you. You get a little more of her and Christopher in Eros Element, and a lot more of Edward.
Thanks again!

Cecilia, after reading Noble Secrets I signed up for Candace’s tour for the 3rd book in the series. I’m nearly done with book three! I hope to finish it tonight. I think I’m close to being done, I’ve just been so tired at night I haven’t had much time to read! No fault of yours, life is just busy lately.
The book that totally took me by surprise was Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children. I went into it expecting a straight up WWII fiction novel (it was lent to me without a book jacket by someone with those literary leanings) and was blown away by the fantasy tilt. It was actually an awesome read because of that.
Have you read book 3 in the series yet? I hope to get it for my birthday!
I’m so glad you loved this! Thank you so much for hosting a tour stop and sharing your thoughts!
Looking forward to the next tour!
The last book to surprise me was Landline by Rainbow Rowell, I am not sure what I was expecting but it wasn’t that the book was perfect for me 🙂
Thank you for sharing this book 🙂
Thanks for dropping by, Ana! I have not read Landline yet, but I did love Eleanor & Park. Have you read that one?
