It was cute

It was a cute little story. Goes quick, but there were no dislikable parts, put together well.

Great Story

I just happened upon this book & loved every bit of it. I am hopeful for a sequel.

Great story!

Love the story and the characters! I can't wait to see the second book in this series!

Great narration, solid story

I really enjoyed this one. It kept my interest the entire time and it flowed very well. It is appropriate for most audiences.

Victorian England meets outer space

What a fun read! Although the British Empire controls all space travel and owns all colonies in space, there are still gutter rats on the streets, barely surviving by pickpockets and running from gangs. Yet somehow, Anthea Sharp melds the two in a way that works. It's a funny, sweet romp where good defeats evil and true love wins.

Great Story

I really enjoyed this story. The story had a great plot, and nice pacing. The MC was relatable and likable as well as her friends. The narrator did a great job. I enjoyed this listen very much.

Very fun and Very Memorable....

This was not only fun but it was memorable. There were hi-jinx to be had. Tipper is such a little scoundrel. Diane was such a protector. I can’t wait for more adventures in this series!!

Was a wonderful and interesting story

This was a completely original story. I was very uplifted and intrigued from the beginning. The characters were very original. Beautifully read too

Wonderful

I expected this to be a fun, light read - and it was! But it was also rather like jumping happily into a puddle, and falling in up to my elbows. I got sucked in fast by the "street rat with a heart of gold" theme, and loved Di thoroughly by the end of it. Thankfully, her character shone through the book, instead of being clumsily beat into my head with false-feeling situations and the use of other characters to blow smoke up her butt (looking at you, all recent YA fiction).

The author pulled off steampunk-meets-space charmingly, and the world building was in-depth but not overwhelming. The plot wasn't ground-breaking, and I wish the book was longer, but it was fast-paced, well-written, and again - fun! On top of it all, Di and her friend, Tipper, had some really poignant moments of hope in the face of hardship that had my eyes watering a bit, and there were a few very pretty gems of writing that had me rewinding the audiobook just to hear them again.

I will absolutely be recommending this to friends.

Lovely relationship between Tipper and Dianna♥️

This is my first time I heard audiobook from this author; no disappointed at all. I’m looking forward to more stories! Awesome narrator. I love the story!
