More Duchess Society fun
This book is fun, but not nearly as compelling as the prior books. Our story starts out with Theodosia Astley, who is the Duke of Leighton’s (from Book 2) sister. She’s about to marry, when she finds out the bridegroom isn’t what she wants. She runs, but not too far, into a waiting coach. The coach belongs to Dashiell Campbell, a self-made man and former pickpocket and current card sharp, author, and friend and partner in the gaming hell of Xander Macauley (from Book 3). Though the book is well written, it doesn’t have the sharpness and details of the prior books. Both of the characters could have been more developed, and the overall plotting is not as detailed as in the other books. Still, it is a very enjoyable book that I enjoyed reading. I’m looking forward to additional books in the Duchess Society. I was given and ARC of the book through BookSirens and this is my honest opinion.
This, that, and the other-my thoughts
