Book Reviews of My Lord and Spymaster (The Spymaster Series)
Book Review: If Dickens wrote romance . . .
Summary: 5 Stars
As far as romances go, this story definitely earns 5 stars. It is truly an unusual romance. The setting is so accurately drawn and the characters so well developed, I was very much engaged throughout and I'm not a romance reader. Each character is complex and intriguing. The attraction between the leads is believable and never melodramatic--a lot of sparks fly. Ms. Bourne's deep knowledge of the English vernaculars and levels of society gives this story the feel of a Dickens novel. Even subordinate characters are fully formed and add multiple layers of depth. And this is superbly done by the author in astonishingly few words. Quite a skill. One could picture the thieves' warren, the ships' recesses, the shipping warehouses stacked with everything from the most basic items to the exotic. Problem with such lush description is they'll have to work hard to capture it all in the movie because fans will have expectations! Highly recommended to those who want a smart, complex, fast moving tale that is out of the ordinary and memorable.
