review 1: This continues from the short story “The Gauntlet” and is a prelude to the first book of the series, explaining how Gillian became involved with the Queen. The story revolves around a historic pearl called ‘the Peregrina’: an unusual pear-shaped pearl. There’s also a lot about jewelry in general: fake gems, etc. Gillian is trying to get the papers she needs she get her and her daughter out of England. But is almost caught until Kit rescues her: again. She ends up helping him spy on Angus Trevelyan, to find out how he plans to kill the Queen. In the end Kit convinces Gillian not to leave England, but stay and become the Queen’s witch. "The Circle did not rise to ascendancy in England by combat, but by influence. There is a chance,should you prov... moree of service to Her Majesty, that the same could prove true for the covens.” Fave scene: riding the staff broom.
review 2: Interesting to read about a young Kit Marlowe, and I liked the overall story though I wasn't entranced by it. I suppose I was a little confused y his relationship to Queen Elizabeth 1 and his maker . Not sure I understood that really. I also thought it lacked a bit of chemistry between Kit and Gillian. Not quite as strong a narrative or characterisation as in The Gauntlet but then both are free, so thank you Ms Chance. less
