What a lovely book!
I find that with each book, Mary’s characters become a little more rounded & better to understand.

I love that Luciano & Arianna are getting married!!! & I love hoe Georgia is with Nicholas !
But I don’t understand what is going on with Sky & Alice , what is Alice’s problem?
I can’t believe that Luciano was nearly experimented on!?
Also…. What could the Di Chimici possibly do next …

What I like about these books is that they are written in simple , easy to understand english which is perfect when you’re studying everyday & you want something enjoyable & fun to read.

5/5 ⭐️

A wonderful addition to the Stravaganza Series this book was full of action and twists. The interaction between cities and the politics involved to shown and did not allow any aspect to be forgotten.

This was much darker in tone than the others. Or than I Recalled. I'm honestly not sure I have read this before.

Either way, I'm glad that it ended how it did, and that I'm moving on to the next book. I feel like poor Luciano is going through more than enough nonsense though, if I'm being honest. He could use a break.
