Gentleman Jole and the Red Queen

You'll like this if you are a completist - it's like a nice short visit with friends, no drama, just catching up with things. I'll likely not be buying a copy of this for my own. Glad I read it but generally “meh.”

Enjoyable, but there wasn't enough action, which is quite the departure for this series. The romance was quite believable, but I don't read for romance.

I was so surprised by some of the character actions on my first reading, that I didn't fully appreciate the book. I knew I'd like this book better on the second reading (which isn't to say that I didn't like it on the first reading, it was just it was more difficult to process).
