hijinx_abound 's review for:
The Spymaster's Lady
by Joanna Bourne
I picked this book up because several podcasters recommended it.
The characters were very flat. Especially to be spies. There was some espionage. There was blindness resulting from a head injury that was then “cured” by another head injury. That is not how that works.
She is only 19 but in the beginning she sounds like a 30 year old woman. I understand that being a spy with an eidetic memory might make a person appear older but this felt like something else. The way that she is treated by these older men was irritating. The twist was not a surprise and the resulting ripples felt awkward.
There was something about this book that annoyed me. Was it because they used this very young woman as a pawn? Was it because they all decided she was going to hook up with their leader?
