Check out my full, spoiler free, video review HERE.
The Alteration refers to two things here. First, this is an alternate history novel where the reformation didn’t take place and the British monarchy had some changes from our timeline. Second, they want to alter our 10 year old main character Hubert, see he has such a perfect voice for the choir that they are afraid puberty will change his voice, so the religious leaders want him castrated. This takes place in a 1976 very different from our own, where electricity is outlawed and the church holds most of the power across Europe and beyond. Very well written with great world building, the plot is entertaining but the ending was not what I expected.
