Rook

by Sharon Cameron

In the Sunken City that was once Paris the guillotine rules again, while Sophia Bellamy from the Commonwealth across the Channel Sea tries to rescue as many of the revolution's victims as she can smuggle out, and some prisoners disappear from their cells, with a red-tipped rook feather left in their place--but who is the mysterious Red Rook and where does Sophia's wealthy fiancé, René Hasard, fit in?

I don't know how to judge this book. I'm kinda confused. I really liked the first part and the main protagonist. I thought I was reading a solid 4* story, but then the plot became tedious, the middle section was too long and forgivable and I really thought I was near the ending while actually I was only at 60%. The last section was ok though, so I think overall it deserves 3*.
The setting was cool but not very well explained, I liked all the references to the ancient times and all the artifacts that the Bellamys collected but the Sunken City remains a missed opportunity in my opinion.
I'm glad it's a standalone because I wouldn't have read a sequel.
