While this second outing in the League of Extraordinary Women series was not as perfectly satisfying as the first book, it was still a very entertaining, well-conceived story that made me excited to see what the author offers next.
I actually enjoyed Lucie as a main character more than Annabelle, the MC of the debut title. I found Lucie to be more complex, and I felt that I had a deeper understanding of her motivation than I did with Annabelle. Anytime Lucie was in a scene, she stole it for me. I’d happily spend more time with that character.
Lucie and Tristan’s connection was fiery and utterly engaging. I loved their exchanges. Full marks for a great version of the enemies to lovers trope. Sizzling sex scenes, so prepare yourself!
There was some bumpiness in terms of the pacing and sub plots. Things didn’t move along at the same clip as the first book and I found some of the secondary characters to be rather sketchy in their development.
Still, sign me up for all the rest! There’s a verve to Dunmore’s style that is so refreshing.
