It is so far very fail. You would think that, with the crack! involved in that sort of summary it would be good, but... It fails.

1. Heroine is found out as a girl within the first chapter. Because she was stupid and got pushed overboard during a storm while they were crossing a channel. Then it's revealed that she comes from a pacifist family, so she will NOT even take a knife to defend herself. WOMAN, YOU ARE IN ENGLISH-ARISTOCRATIC-HATING-FRANCE, and you are a woman, English AND an aristocrat YOU ARE NOW TOO STUPID TO LIVE.

2. Hero is really sort of boring, which I was sort of expecting? But he holds all of the power, and she has no idea he's not a priest.

I may try to read more of it, but it sadly palls. (this is what I get for not reading a transition book between Emma Jensen and April K. sigh)

THE IDEA HAD SUCH PROMISE.

Perhaps I will re-read The Adventurers, instead.
