Helpful Score: 1

Good but not great and a teeny bit boring and predictable. Phedre takes a lover to solve intrigue/get herself out of predicament. We read it 30 times in book 1, I thought book 2 could cover new territory. I grew tired of the political intrigue in the saga of Phedre.

As much as I enjoyed the story of their travels and travails in the first book, I felt frustrated with Phedre and her choices. I skimmed most of the middle of the book, leaving off after she hooks up with the pirate and not really reading again until she's back in La Serenissima. I skimmed enough to get the gist of the situation, but frankly I don't know that those chapters added much to the story (or at least any part that I cared about).

I'm glad a read it, I enjoyed the beautiful reunion with Joscelin and Phedre, the resolution with Ysandre, and a sense of HEA at the end.
