A review by clairetrellahill
Anarchist on the Orient Express by Suzannah Rowntree
5.0
In ANARCHIST, Rowntree dials up the awesome and breaks the knob off.
We start right where book 1 left off—Miss Sharp being accosted by someone from her forgotten past, and she gives chase throughout the book, leading her to revenant zombie policemen, the Orient Express, and a group of revolutionaries as Miss Sharp seeks to answer, Who was she? And is that person someone she still wants to know?
Also returning is my favorite tall inspector, Short (I love him!!!!), Princess May, dear George, and Grand Duke Vasily, the darkly alluring vampire. Miss Sharp no. 2 drives home the question of what makes a monster, and will you know them when you see them. Rowntree also continues to pick at the Victorian social structure and the morals of the era in a very deft but relentlessly honest way.
There were so many emotional moments in this book (betrayals by ones close to you! Short continuing to be the only man who gets it!) and so many high-octane thrills!!! This book truly levels up and does it so well! And once again, that ending hook for book 3–couldn’t be more perfect. FIVE STARS!
The author kindly sent me an arc of this book and this is my honest review.
