It was great to see the characters growing and changing in this book, and I enjoyed the change of scenery and historical context of revolutionary France. The addition of the new characters helped the book from feeling too repetitive.
However, the pacing felt confused again - it felt very rushed with so much happening off scene just as Cat arrived in Paris, and I wasn’t entirely sure how long she was supposed to be there for considering how many near death situations she found herself in.

What has happened to our beloved Cat Royal? Gone is our spunky heroine whose optimistic chear and wit gets her in and out of trouble, gone is the self assured young lady who mingles with the poorest of poor, the highest of high, and those in between. Suddenly we have an uncertain, weak, *simpering*, teenager whose hormones seemed to have kicked in!
Though scattered references and sightings of people like Marie Antoinette and Rospierre (sp?) may be amusing, the whole 'glory of the French Revolution' gets annoying.
Old Characters are back and new one shoulder in as well, but it can't save this book from being a huge disapointment.
