If it wasn’t for the fact I needed to read and finish this in the next six hours just in time to write this review for today (I like to live dangerously), I would’ve set it aside to take a well-deserved nap.īut, hey, I did it, friends! I survived! Even though most of the time in the last six hours I was like this: Not even my love for anything French could have prevented the yawns this book made me do… oh, every 5 minutes. Yeah, it was only, what, 464 pages? 6000 Kindle locations? But let me tell you that reading this felt like it took bloody eternity.

I really can’t shake off the feeling that this book would have been 5 times better if it wasn’t as long as it was. Which is only fair, because neither is she.Īs the Red Rook grows bolder and the stakes grow higher, Sophia and René find themselves locked in a tantalizing game of cat and mouse. But when the search for the Red Rook comes straight to her doorstep, Sophia discovers that her fiancé is not all he seems. Meanwhile, across the sea in the Commonwealth, Sophia Bellamy’s arranged marriage to the wealthy René Hasard is the last chance to save her family from ruin. Is the mysterious Red Rook a savior of the innocent or a criminal? Except for those who disappear from their prison cells, a red-tipped rook feather left in their place. In the Sunken City that was once Paris, all who oppose the new revolution are being put to the blade.
