I'm going to have to agree with others who have reviewed this recently when I say that this is an antiquated adventure novel.
I wanted to love this book more than I did. Sure, there was lots of deception, high-stakes, and daring escapes - love it! What I could do with less of is this toxic ultra-masculinity and stop with the sexism already. I would argue that it's less in each book, but I'm tired of it being portrayed that every woman wants to bed him and every guy wants to be him. Gross.
Regardless of that, I enjoyed aspects of this book and am going to continue with the series because I can't help myself. I know, I'm the worst.
