I loved India's character in this book! She was witty, intelligent, and spunky. The character of the street urchin Vincent also stood out for me, and I can easily see him showing up in the sequel.
Unfortunately for the story, the rest of the characters fell a bit flat, even the hero French. I never really picked up on much passion from his character, either for his job, or anything else.
If it weren't for all of India's funny escapades, I think this book would have been very slow. The story also felt bogged down in parts when the author attempted to delve a bit too much into the politics behind the stolen papers. I found myself actually skimming these parts so I could get back into the fun of India's adventure.
I hope that the author will focus more on India's wit in the sequel, and will be able to create a more solid supporting cast for the story.
