Tempting Fate by April White
4.0
So, this appeared more coherent - possibly more a reflection of my expectations as a reader than the writing. I thought the initial chapters attempted to summarise everything that happened in the first book too quickly and it made it jar a bit, it also jumbled in some new stuff but once the story got going it was excellent.
In a vision Saira and Archer see Ringo, their friend from the Victorian era, being tortured alongside Queen Elizabeth I (although they don't realise that is who she is at first) by Wilder.
I was enthralled by the young Lady Elizabeth (who is/was a seer) and her imprisonment in the Tower of London, the Wyatt rebellion and Dudley. April White really makes history come alive (sorry for the cliché) and I think I will remember 11 April 1544 (that may be my birthday although not my birth year!!!) and the recipe for explosives for a long time.
Loved it so much I ordered the next book immediately.
