A little less foolishness with the romantic relationship, and a very quick moving engaging plot – I was especially engaged with the mood and atmosphere and a real sense of place and time.... and of
I really, really, really loved this book! Why?
1). It has a very fast pace. By chapter 4, the events are already building to the climax.
2). I happen to really love Marguerite as a character as most of this book is once again told in her POV.
3). It is absolutely hilarious! Most of the Scarlet Pimpe
