Synopsis
Eighteen-year-old Aihui Ying dreams of becoming a brilliant engineer just like her beloved father - but her life is torn apart when she arrives a moment too late to stop his murder, and worse, lets the killer slip out of reach. Left with only a journal containing his greatest engineering secrets and a jade pendant snatched from the assassin, Ying vows to take revenge into her own hands.
Disguised as her brother, Ying heads to the capital city, and discovers that the answer to finding who killed her father lies behind the walls of the prestigious Engineers Guild - the home of a past her father never wanted to talk about. With the help of an unlikely ally - Aogiya Ye-yang, a taciturn (but very handsome) young prince - Ying must navigate a world fraught with rules, challenges and politics she can barely grasp, let alone understand.
But to survive, she must fight to stay one step ahead of everyone. And when faced with the choice between doing what's right and what's necessary, Ying will have to decide if her revenge is truly worthwhile, if it means going against everything her father stood for . . .

1ère lecture en VO pour moi et j'ai beaucoup aimé cette fantasy steampunk asiatique !
Le vocabulaire est plutôt facile d'accès.
Ying est une jeune femme courageuse et j'ai aimé ce personnage !
L'écriture est fluide mais l'univers manque de description qui pourrait aider le lecteur à mieux se représenter l'univers.
Le coté steampunk est complètement sous exploité, c'est dommage.
