pickIt's that 'difficult second book of a series' time but the author mostly manages to avoid the main pitfalls. The book is surprisingly light on actual vampires considering the theme, & Sir Percy Blakeney is absent for three-quarters of the book.

so-soSecond book in the Scarlet Revolution series suffers from #MiddleBookSyndrome
The plot dragged on. It was too much about Eleanor being in her own head and asking the same questions over and over. The second half of the novel picks up the pace a bit, but by that point I was tired of reading "What would Sir Percy do?" or "If only Sir Percy was here," as well as reading about Eleanor getting into trouble just to prove her point.

I think it's my lucky day. Was approved for both books 🥳🥳🥳
Perfect for the upcoming #MarvellousMarch #readathon. I'll start early, @Andrew65, hope it's okay. 😉
My thanks to NetGalley & publishers, Pan Macmillan/Tor, for the opportunity to read an ARC. 7d
