This book isn't as good as the Scarlet Pimpernel, I'm afraid. It's a fun swashbuckling tale, but towards the end it felt melodramatic and dull. Even though it's an adventure tale, when you want it to flow a little faster you get a pile of needless descriptions and adjectives instead. This works for romantic scenes and setting the stage, but not for action. And while melodramatic is sometimes fun, after 3/4 of the book, I was like, "enough already." All in all, I don't know if I'll read anymore from this series.
