What I liked about this book:
Like the Scarlett Pimpernel this is an adventure book, so there is rarely a dull moment. It 's short, but very well written.
The characters seemed very real, so they soon became dear to me. The Scarlett Pimpernel, was defientily my favorite character. He was more cautious and serious in this book than the first book in this series, so it was interesting to see a different side of him.
What I didn't like about this book: Nothing
My rating: 3.5
