I LOVED The Vitruvian Mask. This was a book where I was sucked right in to the story from page one and just binge read. So good! Adelaide Coumain is a roboticist and scientist working in historical France during a time when the Naturalists are persecuting scientists. I loved the steampunk vibe of this book! She’s also about to give birth, and won’t reveal the father of her baby. Henri is an artist and Naturalist, and he and his brother John have been living in exile in England for the past year. We slowly learn more of their story and why they were in exile and how they and Adelaide are connected over the course of the book. Adelaide eventually comes to stay at a hospital and to work with veteran soldiers in need of mechanical adjustments to their robotic prosthetic limbs. I really loved what a strong character she was portrayed as. There are some neat surprises and twists in store all the way to the end in this one. Highly enjoyed it! 5/5 stars.
