Very engaging, and without any infuriating developments in Sebastian's social life like the previous book, but without quite such a compelling historical backdrop as that book, so you win some, you lose some. Gibson is one of my favourite characters, so I enjoyed his presence here but would have enjoyed it more if he'd played more of a role in the plot; the blurb to this book rather overstates his part in it! 

I enjoyed both the backdrop of Waterloo happening far away ans no-one knowing what was happening, and the bits about folklore and people's interest in it - the bit about the popularity of werewolves in romance novels made me laugh. The more things change, the more they stay the same!

The formula for this is book the same as the others in the series, but if that works for you it'll work here again!
