I loved the first two books in this series, Melusine, and The Virtu. The relationship between Mildmay and Felix is incredibly complex and engaging. I couldn't put the books down, and even when I wasn't reading them, found myself thinking about them constantly. The third installment, The Mirador, is just not quite as good. This book suffers a little from the introduction of the third POV character, Mehitabel. I think maybe the author felt these chapters had to be there to justify Felix's fate in the end (don't want to give anything away). But honestly, I found her story rather tedious. That being said, I would still recommend it, because Felix and Mildmay remain fascinating. There is obviously another installment yet to come, and it cannot possibly be out soon enough. I hope that we will see the two brothers taking center stage again.

Nothing really happens by way of action but it was an interesting read all the same. The politics, which is really all the book was, was pretty great to read about. It was a great story and the addition of Tabby's point of view was really great. I was skeptical about her addition at first but it worked out really well. I'm glad things didn't work out really sappy or easily for anyone. Exactly what I wanted to happen, happened and that's generally unusual for me with book. Haha.

Interesting story. Great writing. Not much real action.
