I am thoroughly enjoying this series. The author is a great job of setting the scene of 19th century. London is great.

I like the characters I really like Sebastian. He’s becoming more likeable and we learn a little bit more about him and we get to see how his time at war has affected him. I am not the biggest fan of Kat Boleyn, and Sebastian’s sister Amanda needs to go, she is the WORST.

The mystery is great as well its dark and gruesome, but it’s really good and the threads that tie everything together are really good for the mystery portion.

The subplot of Sebastian‘s personal life continues to be interesting.  There is a reveal involving Kat (his lover) and Sebastian’s relationship that I did not see coming
Y’ALL SHE IS HENDON’S DAUGHTER FROM HIS MISTRESS AKA SEBASTAIN’S HALF SISTER ☠️
that may have far reaching consequences.
but there also hints dropped that Sebastain may not be Hendon’s son - so we will see how this plays out 


Although I will say that, maybe it wasn’t entirely necessary, there are so many other ways it could have gone, reasons that have been built up in the first two boons, but I will leave it for the reader to decide. 

Sebastian’s personal life is very soap opera-esq, but I like it. 

Overall a great series I am enjoying.
