This book was generously provided to me by the publisher via Library Thing. let's start with the pacing. This book was a little slower going for me. I found the characters were not wholly fleshed out ( this may be because it is book two and I haven't yet read book one). The world building was of reasonable quality. I did feel certain elements could have been delved into a bit deeper, such as when someone is considered unreclaimable. the descriptions of clothing were apt for the time period of the story. I liked how she handled her token gay. that being said that is all it felt like, a token character. I felt the grand deceiver/ reclaimer bit refreshing. nobody is expected to save the world alone here. ultimately it was a decent book, it just didn't fully click for me at this time. I will reread down the road after having read the first book. Esta resenha foi escrita no âmbito dos Primeiros Resenhistas do LibraryThing. I wasn't sure I liked this initially but it managed to suck me in quite effectively when I wasn't paying attention. Unexpectedly clever in all sorts of ways. Highly recommended to everyone, even people who don't usually like this sort of thing.I recieved a free copy of this book from the publisher for review. This series continues to be great period fun and games. The strong Regency style and sensibility works to really heighten the emotional and romantical elements, though I found it occasionally a bit of a liability in the action sequences. I think this second book hung together even more strongly than the first, able to really develop and weave its elements, and leaving things wonderfully poised for a cracking finale in the third book. Basically: Buffy the Vampire Slayer done Austen-style, with the occasional page-long wallowing in the scalding moment of sexual tension inherent in a gentleman helping a lady-masquerading-as-a-gentleman out of her too-tight coat. If that sounds like your cup of tea, get thee ahold of this delightful teapot. I loved the first Lady Helen novel and expected to enjoy this one, but did not expect this to be even better. Of course, I'm a sucker for a good romance novel, and, at heart, this is a romance novel, albeit one with monsters. I loved watching Lady Helen come into her own and stand up for herself and those she cares about. I could go into more detail, but I'm honestly still kind of in swoony space. If you like Regency-set romance, girls fighting monsters, political machinations or just a good story well told, pick up The Dark Days Club (the first Lady Helen novel) then track down a copy of this one and then spend the next year (or more) waiting in anxious anticipation with me for book three. sem resenhas | adicionar uma resenha
