It was a little harder for me to get into the rhythm of this story than it was with the first book, and I don't really know why. However, once I as hooked, I couldn't stop until I finished.
I think this was the perfect adventure for Maud Blyth, considering what we knew about her from the first book. I was surprised how much Robin's visions helped her during the voyage, and it was awesome to get some insides into Robin&Edwin through Robin's sister. I guess this was one of the reasons it was harder to get trapped by this book: I was missing R&E, which is ridiculous because I always knew that the principal couple was a different one.
I loved how brave Maud is about everything. I guess it was to be expected that she wouldn't really have much issue with finding out she liked another girl and with exploring that part of herself. I mean, the girl was decided to go to university and study when it wasn't the norm for ladies of her standing in society or any woman really. Plus, her brother didn't hide who he was and who he loved from her, so she had no reason to be against same sex romance.
It was great how much more we learned about the 'old ladies' who found and re-hid the Last Contract I was super conspiracy-hungry in this book.
I was pleasantly surprised with how much we saw of Lord Hawthorn in this book. I knew he's one of the lead characters in the third book, but I loved getting to know him more in this one and seeing him become a little more protective even if he was reluctant about it. Happy as well to also have gotten to know Mr. Alan Ross in this book.
I couldn't believe all of the shenanigans they got into considering that the whole story takes place on a ship!
Again: the passion? Sizzling hot! I really like how tactfully descriptive Freya Marske is.
