rhodered 's review for:
The Spymaster's Lady
by Joanna Bourne
I have no idea what the naked chested man is doing on the cover of this book, beyond serving as an object decoratif. That said, many reviewers cite this as their absolute favorite Joanna Bourne book. It's not bad at all, I can see why they like it. The heroine in particular is so talented, so determined, so skilled, so extraordinary, that it's a pleasure to read about her. The very opposite of a Mary Sue.
I also like how the heroine's thoughts and use of language feel so very French, although written for us in English. It's clear Ms. Bourne lived abroad, probably speaking French herself for quite a while, to have such a good innate sense of it.
Plus, it's just plain funny, there are witty asides, small bits of humor woven into nearly everything, even as very serious things are occurring.
A lovely book, despite how very much disbelief one must suspend.
