This is the 5th Scarlett Pimpernel book that I’ve read so far and though still enjoyable it was probably the weakest so far. It took a long time to get going but once it did it was a fun little adventure. The introduction of new character types in the form of Devinne and Pradel kept it different from other books in the series and were clear positives, though the rescue plans are getting a little too similar for my liking and would like a bit more variety in future entries. The plot itself, based around a couple of love triangles was unique enough when compared to the rest of the series. One highlight for myself was the epilogue, the style of which I particularly enjoyed. All-in-all it’s fun easy reading but don’t expect to get blown away by this one.
