Scandal Broth by Marian DevonView all my reviews
Running Commentary, pulled from One Note file:
Started reading 11/17/13 - Comments up to 11/19/13 included.
- Chapter One and Two - I like that it leaps right in, but it is a little light on tension and character depth. But there is some wit and fun, and the premise is great.
- Chapter Three through Six - About Chapter Five, the tension begins to pick up, as complications and surprises start piling on naturally.
- Chapter Seven through Partial Eight - I'm still longing for a little more character depth, but the secondary characters are interesting, and the main character is facing more surprises. However, it seems like the complications are working out in her favor. Though cute, that decreases tension. Not all surprises though.
- Chapter Eight (Rest) and Chapter Nine - On one hand, some events flow naturally from previous incidents in the story, which is good. On the other hand, some make me wonder why it is all coming together now. It gives a feeling of a loose-knit plot. Also, while I like a slight nod to The Memoirs of Harriette Wilson (one of my favorite Regency works), I don't like full on winks.
