A lush, imaginative retelling of "The Scarlet Pimpernel," set in the same world as "For Darkness Shows the Stars." 
 Pros: The world of these novels continues to gain depth. I loved how all the important facets of Pimpernel's plot fit in. Making Percy's and Chauvelin's characters female and Marguerite's male helped distance it from the source, and it was a fun twist. 
 Cons: Teenage Romance. I know I asked for it by reading a YA book, but it gets tiresome. It's important to the plot, but there were a few eye-rolls. 
 Overall-fun tribute to the original in a fascinating setting.
