Love and vengeance! Spy vs vigilante.
This has a lot of "secret society from Maiden Lane's Duke of Sin" energy.
Byrne fucking nails a plot, but her style and pacing is rough. There's also a lot of "MAN IS JUST AN ANIMAL"/predatorpredatorpredator vibes. Emotional beats are there, but idk if she sticks the landing (ending is abrupt.)
Frank/Francesca rules. All of the Red Rogues have been compelling protagonists (with meh-ish dudes.) She is super cool and interesting... but with some unexpected yandere vibes. She has a fun relationship with the men her buddies love and I didn't expect that and would like to see more of it.
Kind of a backdoor redemption for Ramsey.
Chandler starts strong and gets a little muddled. My dude interupts like a sonuvabitch.
Byrne's been trying to write fight scenes for a while and finally nails some hand-to-hand scenes in this one.
2 POVs, 3rd person past tense, 1890s London, MCs are late 20s early 30s, spicy, action romance conspiracy
