I REALLY enjoyed this read, although I wanted to punch the Duchess in the face more than once. It's my first book in this series so I cannot compare to previous books but I found the lore fascinating and non hokey lore is hard to do in this genre. I will definitely be reading the rest of the series. Wynn is a bonehead at times, but she does capture the spirit of a (nutty) academic in search of truth pretty well. Although I still don't understand what the big deal was by stopping fish boy from turning fish once they faked his death. I need that explained-ties in with my punchy urges with the Duchess. 3 1/2 stars. It was enjoyable, but the reason I didn't give it four stars is because I'm tiring of the same old plot devise of the villain secretly following and spying on the main character. It was so over used in the first series. I enjoyed most everything else about the book. I do think the writing has gotten better. The characters seem less cardboard now than they do in the original series. I'm also continually fascinated by Chane. I really would like to see things heat up between Chane and Wynn.
This one was pretty sweet. Liked it a lot. This is going to be one of my favorites of the series!
