El Dorado: Further Adventures of the Scarlet Pimpernel by Baroness Orczy

3.0

Baroness Emmuska Orczy could probably have written this entire story using a quarter of the words. She likes long, descriptive pasages where sinews nearly break with passion. El Dorado was a good story, maybe even one of the better ones, but not totally my favorite. It was nice having some more of Margurite. I just got a little annoyed with Sir Percy, though. He's always running off and saving people and ignoring his poor wife. He wasn't at his best in this book.
Otherwise, another rollicking adventure from that dashing hero, the Scarlet Pimpernel.




Did I really start this way back in July? Yikes.
