Broken Promise

3.5 Stars

I enjoyed this one quite a lot. In fact, I think it may be my favorite of the series. We finally find out the identity of the “Gentleman” and all the “hows & whys” of it all. Both Kipling




That said, I had a couple of issues that lowered my rating a bit. Both took place right near the end. I was a tiny bit annoyed that the author never told us what happened to Kipling when the gentleman had him. When they are saved, he appears to have just a concussion and no outward signs of injuries. Then all of a sudden he is almost dead, in a coma, and spends weeks in intense physical therapy?? For what exactly?? A little more detail was definitely needed. The other issue was, we are told Jade got shot, but then she is perfectly OK sitting in the hospital waiting room, and her being injured is never brought up...like AT ALL. Both those issue did have me lowering my rating a bit.

Apart from that, this was a really good book and a really enjoyable series.
