Review:
Myth: 4.5/5
I was beyond delighted that the second book in this series was to feature Maud. She’s a fantastic character with a determination and desire to experience the world around her. Paired with Violet, a woman who draws the eye, and puts on a spectacular show, this cross Atlantic ship ride is sure to be an adventure. Maud and Violet’s chemistry leaps off the page, with wry humor and plenty of wit.
Maud gets to set her sights on the second piece of the Last Contract as the series continues. A murder, a mystery and being trapped on an ocean liner for the cruise from America back to England.
Magic: 4.5/5
Building on the reveals in A Marvelous Light, Maud doesn’t want to disappoint her brother when she finally gets her chance to contribute. Filled with the belief in what’s right, but no magic of her own, Maud gets her own set of likely and unlikely allies to help her find the second piece of the puzzle.
Overall: 4.5/5
I loved book two, it really built on the world revealed in book one. I loved Maud, so it was delightful to see her rally her own troops, sometimes out of sheer stubbornness. It was wonderful to see her experience the world, get knocked down and find a way to push herself through. I can’t wait to see what happens in the trilogy conclusion.
