3.5

Again, not my favorite in the series, but I still enjoyed myself quite a bit. Veronica's stance on marriage is, well, something I don't quite comprehend, especially given that while I'm not sure if I will ever have children or not, the idea of domesticity with a life partner is particularly appealing to me. It irks me slightly that she cannot see how lucky she is to have a partner so suited to her wits and wiles, both at home or abroad. Regardless of their adventures, her home has inevitably become Stoker; I love and envy that.

3.5 out of 5 stars, ★★★☆☆
