The Grand Tour by Caroline Stevermer, Patricia C. Wrede
2.0

Much too long. I was forcing myself through by half-way and even though I made it to the end, I'm not sure it was worth it.
Not a bad story, it has lots of twists and turns, but nothing unusual or spectacular. Lots of "Regency" names thrown in, like Beau Brummel and the Duke of Wellington. However, I didn't find their characters added particularly to the story.
The main characters, whether Kate or Cecy, are still very similar except that Kate has become incredibly pathetic and Cecy incredibly insufferable. James and Thomas aren't much better.
Overall, a disappointment for me. And seriously. What is worse than third-wheeling on a date?
Third wheeling on a honeymoon. Even a honeymoon that involves murders and mayhem and plots to take over the world. There is too much going on to make this a tight, fluid, enjoyable read.
