autumnxdays 's review for:
The Spymaster's Lady
by Joanna Bourne
I'm not sure how to rate this. I think 3 stars is too low but 4 stars is a little bit too much. Possibly. Maybe a 3.75?

I don't I've read many that involve spies and all that stuff so that was fun. The writing was pretty good. I didn't find Grey to be very memorable at all though, I never really got a good feel of him and the romance was kind of lacking for me. It all happened very quickly, I swear they fell in love over the space of a couple of days and the book only took place over a week or two. Annique... Annique is a difficult one to get an accurate feeling on. At times I loved her, she never gave up, she fought and she was always coming up with ways to get out of the messes that she found herself in. Her voice... I alternated between getting a 'Poirot' feel from her (I think, possibly, because of her speech patterns) and getting a little girl vibe. I got a little bit creeped out when I got the little girl vibes, I know she's young but she came across a lot younger at times and when paired with Grey... little bit gross.
I was a little bit disappointed that
I had some issues but overall it was a fun read and I would like to read more of this series. I'm especially looking forward to Adrian's story - I loved him!!

Annique got her sight back. I loved it when she was blind, not because I'm a horrible person, but I loved the way she had adapted and still got shit done. The only thing that really saved it was that getting her sight back caused her to not know Grey when she arrived in Kent which helped him get her to the house in London.I had some issues but overall it was a fun read and I would like to read more of this series.
