Review of 'Rupert of Hentzau' on 'Goodreads'

3 stars

This sequel to The Prisoner of Zenda is more of the same, really - with a strong whiff of Three Musketeers in terms of general plot motivation and being a ripping yarn, at least. The sly wit is absent and this makes our hero a little bit of a Gary Stu, but nevermind. If you liked the former book, you'll like this one, too, I would think.
