With intricate worldbuilding, captivating characters, and an atmospheric blend of adventure and mystery, this is the sort of steampunk read you'll wish you could step straight into. Goss is a professor of late nineteenth-century and early twentieth-century British literature, and her expertise is apparent in the rich, playful alternate fantasy world she has created.
Now, in the highly-anticipated final chapter of the trilogy, Mary Jekyll (yes, the daughter of that Jekyll) races to stop an assassination attempt on Queen Victoria. Goss' series takes these illustrious ladies across Europe unraveling mysteries and uncovering threats to its members. The Athena Club is a society comprised of the daughters of mad scientists like Moreau and Frankenstein from 19th century pulp literature.
The first book, The Strange Case of the Alchemist’s Daughter, won The World Fantasy Award and was nominated for the Nebula. The Sinister Mystery of the Mesmerizing Girl is the final book in the critically-acclaimed Extraordinary Adventures of the Athena Club trilogy from Theodora Goss.
