The Lost Future of Pepperharrow
Natasha Pulley
2019 · Historical fiction
How it reads
The Lost Future of Pepperharrow is historical fiction (historical fantasy mystery, specifically), and its dominant mood is adventurous. It's driven by momentum, discovery and getting into trouble. The pace is moderate — neither a page-turner nor a slow burn — so it holds up whether you read it in long sittings or short ones.
It's set in an international setting, in the historical past, told in the third person, staying close to one character. Its central concerns are love, power and politics and secrets. In weight it sits in the middle: substantial without being heavy going.
It's a later book in a series — you'll usually want to start earlier. The ending resolves happily. It's moderately known: read by plenty of people, but not a household name.
Pick it up if…
- you're in the mood for something adventurous
- you want to be sure it ends well
- you're drawn to stories about love
Maybe not if…
- you need something cosy or melancholy
