Loading... The Grand Tour, or, The Purloined Coronation Regalia: being a revelation… (2004)by Patricia C. Wrede (co-author), Caroline Stevermer (Author)
None. Still love these characters. The "newness" of getting to know them can't exist in a sequel, of course. This gets extremely exciting now and then as the first one did and the authors still do the more mundane in an entertaining manner. (  ) Yona | May 2, 2013 |  Properly two-and-a-half stars, really. Great fun, but with enough technical problems to detract noticeably — I blame Wrede for the tendency toward infodumps, as many of her books include them; distinguishing between Kate and Cecy & James and Thomas is a lot harder than it needs to be; and there is no way you could understand above half of what is going on without having read [b:Sorcery and Cecelia|64207|Sorcery and Cecelia or The Enchanted Chocolate Pot (Cecelia and Kate, #1)|Patricia C. Wrede|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1328875743s/64207.jpg|505]. Alas. (  ) cricketbats | Apr 18, 2013 | The sequel to Sorcery and Cecelia, and just as delightful. Unfortunately, I can say almost nothing about it without giving away major spoilers for the first book. (  ) maureene87 | Apr 4, 2013 | Another bit of frothy fun, this time with a tour of Europe just after the Napoleonic wars to add a little interest. What can be said about a book like this? It's pure fun, and if it isn't something you like -- occasionally I do want to shake our two young heroines before I recall that they are, indeed, written to be not even 20 yet, so I just let the book rollick along -- then nothing I say will convince you. A good antidote for grey days, colds, and a perfect accompaniment to a comfy chair, cup of tea, and plate of cookies. ( ) Murphy-Jacobs | Mar 30, 2013 | I enjoyed the portions from Kate's diary/commonplace book more. Of course a private diary would have more personality and depth than a deposition, so no big surprise there. But it did make the book feel more uneven--we get more peeks into Kate and Thomas's relationship and James and Cecy seem more distant in comparison.
