Evaluation
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐/5
The royal family is staying next door, a fishy guest, what could possibly go wrong?
Just like the first novel in this series, I very much enjoyed this novel. I love how much Klassen’s style of writing allows me to become immersed in the characters’ way of life and really get to know the characters. I am looking forward to book three coming out next month! If you enjoy thicker and more leisurely reads, sisterly bonds, regency romance, and dashing gentlemen, then I recommend this series to you. Enjoy!
