The marriage, which should have been one of the most significant parts of the story has slowed the plot terribly! I’m honestly very bored and considering putting this book down for some time.

A story that first seemed to be a series of random events has steadily grown into an intriguing tale of escape whilst a hunter is in pursuit. The writing js also beautiful. I cannot yet see how Gordon will be victorious but I hope that it lives up to the excellent storytelling so far.

Helen Montgomery cannot get away lightly. Every possible punishment must be heaped upon her. The infuriating this is whenever the action draws near, the following chapter cuts to a different time and place! It is becoming unbearable. Perhaps the author wants the reader to the feel the same burning frustrations and anxiety that the protagonist’s are experiencing.

I don’t know how much more of Helen Montgomery’s wickedness I can bear. Is any truly so evil? This book is becoming exhausting. Cecile has not had a break for even a minute, and now, when it seems like the tides are finally turning, more scheming on Helen’s part is soon to follow! If she does not get her comeuppance in full force, I will be deeply disappointed!

Quotes thus far:

"So beautiful Cecile Vavasour was suddenly hurled from the very pinnacle of affluence into the abyss of beggary"

"Poverty was the worst, the unpardonable of all sin in her catalogue of crimes, and Cecile, perforce, had become a sinner past all forgiveness or absolution"

Very little has happened in this story

That murder took a very long time. It’s like the story has just begun!

So far a lot of character introductions and not much story - but it is building, and I can already see the approaching calamity and farce
