diverting enough, although i'm a bit bored with "fancy lady who doesn't conform to the restrictions of her time" trope.

A little over the top for me. Both Amity and Benedict have suffered romantically. However, the Amity manages to save Benedict's life and escape a madman on her own and rescue her sister - with her sister's help.

Great story. I don't care for gratuitous sex, and probably wouldn't have read this book had I known, but it was a great combination of adventure and romance.

Delightful!
Amazingly enough this novel had no dragons, magic, or other mystical items and yet it still held my attention. I actually found myself reviewing the events that transpired to double check if there was magic (there was not) and found myself surprised.
Anyway, no magic, but scuffles, wounded pride, murder, mystery, serial killers on the loose, international spies, engineering, globetrotting, and so many hidden weapons!

- Plot- or character-driven? A mix
- Strong character development? It's complicated
- Loveable characters? Yes
- Diverse cast of characters? No
- Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

I have come to dislike the two main characters. Also, it’s taking too much time to get to the point. Additionally, the narrator leaves much to be desired because she is much too dramatic.
