A dashing highlander, a Dread Bandit Scot Kirkpatrick. Bastard sons, sentimental thieves, and an "invisible" spinster. Ms. Mederios knows how to weave a tale of love and betrayal that leaves you clinging to every word to the end. (I wish she would write more books for me to devour!) Well done, Terry.

I can't quite figure out how I feel about this book.
On the one hand it's quite good fun, with a plot that takes approximately ten thousand detours. It's all over the place and melodramatic, but that's partly why it's such good fun. Although I'm not sure it was intending to be seen that way.
On the other hand though, there were more than a few times I rolled my eyes. Seriously, the relationship between Prudence and Sebastian was so back and forth I had whiplash by the end.
Mostly though I did enjoy it. And it was certainly an adventure!

Not gonna lie, I liked this story a lot. It was kinda long compared to other books I've read lately, but I didn't mind at all. I think Prudence and Sebastian were great together.
Only complaint, occasionally there would be mentions of things that made no sense or wouldn't be explained further. For instance at the end, Sebastian goes into a tavern and helps a 'whore' off the floor and seemingly leads her away. It was random, and I had to re-read several times but it still didn't make sense.
Other than that, I'm pretty sure I'll be re-reading some favorite parts later.
