This is pulp with all the trappings— daring spies, dastardly villains, plots galore— and yet it’s so grounded in real emotion it hardly feels like pulp at all. Except for the part that’s so entertaining I devoured it in two days.
Great book. Great pairing. KJ Charles does it again.
I'm an old crone but still remember when the derogatory language used in this book was... commonplace. It was shocking to encounter it again after so many, many years. As disturbing as it was, it fit with the time and place. I've often been bemused while reading historical novels where the characters have a too modern outlook.
I wouldn't mind visiting these characters again in the future.
