the agency!
Last month, someone on bookish reviewed YS Lee's The Agency: A Spy in the House. The description (young female protagonist in Victorian London who is a member of The Agency, an all-female spy, er, agency) interested me enough that I got it the next time I made an order from Amazon. After I got it, I quickly read it and then promptly ordered the second book, The Body at the Tower, which I finished reading earlier today. After reading those two books, what is foremost in my mind?
WHY IS THE THIRD BOOK NOT COMING OUT UNTIL SPRING 2012??? D: D: D:
Well, it's coming out August 2011 in the UK, but if I ordered that from Amazon UK, then my covers won't match! This cannot be!
Um. Yeah. I enjoyed them. They're great, fun, quick, and easy reads. The heroine, Mary Quinn, is very likable, capable and intelligent, yet also makes mistakes that are believable when you consider her lack of experience when it comes to spying. Her feelings about her past and her identity, and her struggles with them, are combined very well with the plot of the two books, and don't seem shoved in to make her even more emo. I also love Mary's relationship with James Easton, and I thought both books had appropriate endings when it came to their relationship. They have an easy banter that doesn't at all seem forced, and what I'm most looking forward to in the third (and last) book is seeing what happens between the two of them. Because, fuck, ship them so hard.
Also, no one can convince me that Anne and Felicity are not totally lovers. NO ONE.
