A collection of short stories (which I somehow did not realize when I started reading) starring our beloved Pimpernel and his band of merry men. Made for pleasant bedtime reading but there's nothing amazing or surprising here.

I picked this up to read because I love what I've read of the series so far, this being the fourth I've read since I'm not reading them in order. As such I knew going in this would be a light and easy read. I've read this one the first week after my sons birth, when I needed something not too hard to follow, so the fact it's a collection of short stories was a bit of a blessing in disguise. However as a collection of short stories it's not the most amazing. They're all quite fun but quite similar. The different twists are entertaining but I'm confident in saying the Scarlet Pimpernel stories work best as full novels. So this was the weakest of the series I've read so far but still fun and I imagine will help make the recurring characters more rounded in the future books
Love Sir Percy... This is the favourite book of the series ... Every time the way Sir Percy outwits Chauvelin it was brilliant
This book is made up of short stories, which is not really my thing. The reason is that these are the types of adventures I want to binge. I want to read for hours. And this works if it's one long story. But if the books is just a bunch of different adventures after each other, I forget what happens because I read too many different stories in too short a time.
It's still really fun to see all the different sides of Percy's work in France. But it did get very easy to predict which characters were Percy or league members in disguise.

The inter-connected short stories is a really cute concept, and well done here. However, trying to keep up with the timeline and the jumping around time is starting to give me a headache.
Such a fun little series of shorts! I'm not usually a fan of short stories, but when I already have some knowledge of the characters and I can just enjoy them instead of struggling to keep up with the events that are always happening so quickly, I do like them. And that's what this was. It was our darling Scarlet Pimpernel getting up to mischief and Chauvelin and other French Revolutionaries trying to catch him. That's really all it was. But oh, it is so much fun to see Chauvelin get beat over and over again.
