Anyway, so a cool, underground organization of specially, supernaturally talented people exist as a secret service. The lead character, overall, I found likeable and interesting. Normally, I find the amnesia trope a little tiresome.
The one thing I had a major issue with was all the clothing discussion. Do male authors really think women spend THAT much time thinking about their wardrobe? It wasn't necessary, how many times did we need to be told that Myfanwy only had dowdy clothing? Once would have been enough, but it was repeated, over and over. That was really my only problem with the book. I look forward to renting the 2nd book in the series from the library.
