I absolutely adore these books!
Ugh. Writing is fine. Story is okay. Nothing spectacular.What annoys me to no end is Mary and James.Their relationship appears to be all about the physical. They argue and bicker and then kiss passionately and get interrupted before they can do much more.No meaningful conversations. Or, at the very ...
What begins as a simple assignment--to identify a petty thief at Windsor Castle--expands to traitors, trouble for the Agency, and a personal crisis for Mary that brings her mixed-race heritage to the surface and leaves her, by the end of the novel, in an entirely changed landscape.
I have, honestly, never come across a couple in a book more adorable and perfect together than Mary and James.Y.S. Lee, THANK YOU, for giving us these two, especially James!P.S - Queen Victoria is SUCH a badass in this book! :D
