![]() It feels like a strange gripe to have - if anything, this is far closer to what I would have imagined the series to be like before reading the first book - but the characters and their relationships were such a strong focus of Spy Society that I was assuming this would be similar. I'm still a fan of the series but my slight issue with this one is actually that the relationships between the characters which developed so superbly in book one take a back seat to lots of action this time around. Maggie and Roux's friendship is still wonderful - one of my favourites recently - and it's brilliant to see Roux, who's generally low on people who care about her, get a love interest here. ![]() This is a good second entry into the series but for my mind it doesn't quite hit the spot as well as that charming first novel did. I was really looking forward to this one after reading Spy Society last year and enjoying it. Can the three of them, aided by some new friends and honorary uncle Angelo, clear her family's name? When safecracker Maggie Silver's parents are falsely accused of a crime, she's uprooted from her newly peaceful existence as a normal high-school girl and forced to flee, along with best friend Roux and boyfriend Jessie, to Paris. ![]() Publisher: Simon & Schuster Children's Books As a series this is still better than most, though! Summary: While it's a good read, slight shift in focus to more action than the first book didn't appeal to me as much. ![]()
