this cover might not be as pretty as the previous two in the extraordinaries series, but don't count abounding might out for a good story. this time the adventure leads us to india. where daphne st. clair, an extraordinary bounder is essentially banished after her propensity to faint at the sight of blood leads to the death of a good man in battle.once in india, daphne meets captain phineas fletcher, a discerner charged with trying to find a group of missionaries who has gone missing in a remote part of the indian continent. he recruits daphne, partly because he could use her talents on the field, but also because he knows she can be doing something more than she is currently in india.
as they work together to solve the mystery, daphne and phin spend time in each others company, and it becomes quite clear that they feel something strong for one another. captain fletcher's talents add an interesting twist because in a sense he has a better idea of what is going on between them because he can feel her feelings every time he touches her.
one of the things i've enjoyed in each story is seeing how each person's talent is described. there's always a glossary of sorts at the end of the book that helps, but as you get to know the individual characters and their own abilities, having how they do things or react to things describes is really cool.
the regency era in india is an interesting and fraught moment in british colonialism. the author has researched the time period well and has crafted an interesting story for this latest set of extraordinary talents. i love this series.
**abounding might will publish on october 3, 2017. i received an advance reader copy courtesy of netgalley/curiosity quills press in exchange for my honest review.
