A review by marjolaine_lafreniere
I Will Repay by Baroness Orczy
4.0
3.5, slightly tipping on the side of 4.
This was the 2nd Scarlet Pimpernel book published. However, I'm reading the Scarlet Pimpernel series in order of the chronology of events, which makes this the 4th book. I prefer this, it makes more sense, even if the character development looks a bit uneven as a result.
It was light in the Sir Percy, and he does tend to steal the show in every scene he is in. Marguerite and the league are barely mentioned. And the beginning of the novel moves a little slowly. But once Percy shows up for the first time, the pace picks up considerably. And once the reader makes peace with the writing style, the book improves dramatically.
