This was such a looooong book. Some parts I liked, some parts I didn’t. I’m mostly just happy that I finished it.

This was a fun and cute mystery novel set in London during World War 1. Fiona Figg is our secret spy going undercover for the war effort. During her sleuthing, she finds herself solving a murder mystery as well. It was a very quick and easy read. Fiona Figg is surrounded by a supporting cast of characters, including her "niece" Kitty, her maybe fiancé, Archie and her enemy, Fredrick. They all create the typical intrigue and drama within a spy story.

I absolutely loved the premise of this story and had high hopes for it. After reading it, I can definitely say it lived up to the hype! I really liked the "retelling" (although not exactly retelling) feeling of King Arthur.  Arthur, Gwendoline, Bridget and Gabriel (and let's be honest Sidney and Agnes too) were such dynamic and interesting characters. They each had their own voice and wants throughout the story. I loved seeing all of these characters form a friendship and support each other throughout the book. And to have the setting be similar to King Arthur's time period? It was fantastic.

So I’m just trying to learn more about financial investing. This book was slightly out of my reach lol. However, I did learn some things and I have a few tips to look into.
