A review by kitvaria_sarene
Anarchist on the Orient Express by Suzannah Rowntree
4.0
Another great adventure with our beloved bodyguard maid!
There's repercussions from things that happened in book one - you definitely want to read these in order - as well as all new characters and disasters.
Plenty more monsters, explosive things, action, fighting, quibs and banter as well as a dash of romance.
I must say I really enjoy how the romance is not at all the focus of the book, just a small part of of the story. Colouring in the edges and making the story feel more rounded.
I loved exploring a bit of Paris before going for a ride on the Orient Express, and how well Rowntree knows her history! Sure this is fantasy with creatures and strange things, but I still like the world feeling realistic. Only with some extra bits!
We learn more about Sharp's backstory, which I found both intriguing and well handled.
I already bought the next in the series as well as the first in a new series!
