This delightful book is the sequel to Sorcery and Cecelia, or the Enchanted Chocolate Pot. I picked up the first one because of the title alone – the enchanted chocolate pot just sounded like so much fun to me. When it turned out to be great, I got the second one.
This series follows cousins Cecelia and Kate, who married their sweethearts in the last book. The story takes place in the year 1817 and is written in the Victorian style, which means it’s a little wordy and not too explicit – after all, mixed company might be reading the book! In this story, Cecy and Kate are on their honeymoons in Europe together when strange happenings start to occur around them. Soon enough they are swept up in the adventure and must try to stop the bad without making Society suspicious. It wouldn’t do for a Marquess to be raising a scandal!
I loved this book. It was full of adventure and humor, especially if you like subtle humor where you have to read between the lines to catch it. Kate and Cecy are entirely likeable and I like how they were such well-defined characters, I felt like I was their friend. I wasn't able to figure out the mystery before the end, which is always nice, and I recommend it to teen who like to read. A 9 from me for this enchanting tale of mystery, adventure and travel.
