I loved the escalation of commentary on colonialism and artifact theft in this book and Elias and Catriona make an explosive pair.
The plot felt a little heavier and slower in this book than the previous three and I also feel like if you haven’t read the first three books in this series this book is not going to work as well as the other books in this series do as standalones. THAT SAID, the little glimpses into each of the other three couples felt like a gift to the reader. I did miss Elias and Catriona in the epilogue although this epilogue is DOING A LOT.
I enjoyed this one and it felt like a fitting end to the series. Catriona is very relatable and sensitive and observant and I enjoyed being in her head although it was just as hard as being in my own head at times. I would have jumped out of that carriage too!!!
Recommended, but you need to read the other three books first.
