Kindle cover of Natasha Pulley's book The Kingdoms which is looking up from the center of a wide spiral staircase and there is maybe something hard to see at the landing near the top.

   Book 81: The Kingdoms. I don't know if it's me or these books but I do find myself sometimes finishing a book and being like "OK I get the general gist of this but some of the nuance may be lost on me" This is a book which takes place in the 1790s and the 1890s and the beginning of the 1900s and seems to feature similar characters to Pulley's other novels which I have read. There's a lot of old tech and smoldering feelings and maybe not enough of a very central lighthouse. Plot skips around.
