The plot in of itself is not as complicated and there is less intrigue, but such is the nature of some series. We learn in the first book the reason why this shadowy group of magicians were targeting Robin and their motivation for doing so, but there are still some gaps in the knowledge around the Last Contract that this fills in for Maud and her group of lovable first-class rogues. The pacing dips a little bit in the middle chunk of the book, but overall it didn't bother me too much.

This book was just so much fun. The magical hijinks, the murder mystery, the menagerie in the middle of the ocean.... It had so much. The character work, the setting, and the plot are all the definition of Colorful™️.
I'm so proud of Maud and all the honest effort she puts into being a good person, into being her OWN person. I love her I'm proud of her, I'm kissing her on the head. And VIOLET!! Layers and layers. I love her, I can't wait to see her continue to explore her own vulnerability.
And fuck this book for making me like Hawthorne. I thought it would be impossible and yet. Here we are.

This was much more plot driven than the first book, which was pretty awesome. I was afraid it would be worse.
The smut felt awkward. Idk if it’s because it’s wlw which is smut I rarely ever read or because of how different it was.
Now to wait a whole year for the next book.. I hope that one will be back to being as amazing as the first one.
