At the Blue Hour

I love historical fiction, and I'm very interested in the Ottoman Empire, so this book is right in my lane. Irina is an awesome heroine, and I really enjoyed watching her grow and learn.

This is a first book in the series. 
Well written. It takes place in Ottoman Empire. Strong feminine character. The story flows nicely into place. It makes you pay attention to details and events. Good and solid writing. I am looking forward to the second book by this author. 
Solid 4.5 oit of 5 rating here.

This novel is a love story between Petra IV and Irina. I thought that the story was very well-written though at times the details did distract the reader from the story. Still, this is an Poe e of history that I did not know much about.

At the blue hour is an historical fiction book, based on events that I myself never heard before. Historical facts and fiction are well balanced in this book. Interesting characters, especially the main, placed in an historical setting that isn’t often addressed, the author showed a keen eye for details in all aspects of her book. I very much enjoyed following the story of the young woman Irina, as much as the fresh and unique writing style Kelm showed in her first book. 
A 5-star rating from me.
