Much of the plot is pretty
There's a lot of real drama in this book. Ellie's background is fraught with murder and mayhem that arises once more when she is introduced into society. Jack realizes that her quietness is merely a disguise for a woman with a spine of steel and he certainly notices her now.
Again, I can't say enough good things about this series and I'm really enjoying the re-read.
