sanjubee's review against another edition

5.0

Kit was such an well-written and charming protagonist, and I loved how the thrilling intrigue of a spy story was mixed with the historical drama of Christopher Marlowe's life. The final chapters had me on the edge of my seat!

This was the first physical book I read in over a year because of quarantine, so that probably made me biased towards it. Also I was like smelling the pages because it actually smelled like a book so sorry to anyone who borrowed it at the library after me.

I didn't know anything about Christopher Marlowe before reading this so I was quite blindsided by everything that happened. Especially the ending. Of course after reading this I went down a Wikipedia rabbit hole about his life.
