Prosper's Demon

This was a little disappointing to me. The summary sounds perfectly in my wheelhouse but something about the writing just didn't grab me. It kind of reminded me of [b:The Monster of Elendhaven 43263515 The Monster of Elendhaven Jennifer Giesbrecht https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1569867908l/43263515.SY75.jpg 65891464] in that it's a first-person narrative with a somewhat unreliable narrator, set in an alternate historic era similar to England, and they have paranormal abilities - but the writing style is completely different and the narrator didn't capture my attention or make me like them. The book is relatively short at only 53 pages but it still felt like a bit of a slog for me.
