I was excited to read Alex’s story. The previous books made her seem mysterious so I had really looked forward to reading it. It was brilliant! In fact, I had to read it twice because it was so good. I really love all of the characters in this series and how they interact together. The way the author incorporated a member of Robespierre’s staff was great and gave an inside view of a Revolutionary’s thoughts. Overall another great book from Ms. Galen.
