Review:
The author does a wonderful job at keeping a nice pace to the story and gives us a realistic look at what Great Britain might have been during the 1700's.
An enjoyable read for fans of historical entertainment.
Author Ciji Ware weaves a tale of intrigue and passion filled with secrets, betrayal, and danger all set against a theatrical background. While some of the characters are fiction, the author also intertwines historical characters along the way adding to the story.
A thick historical novel set in the 18th century with a wickedly strong heroine and with a great view of the gritty world of the theatre.
Fascinating... The author has a knack for engrossing the reader in the details.
Ciji has a great talent for creating awesome and unforgettable characters.
[An] epic feel and intricate historical detail, but with an admirable protagonist.
The novel is rich in fascinating historical detail.
The characters are enchanting, determined, real life, strong, independent and will sweep you off your feet... A wonderful story. A keeper.
"Wicked Company" is chock full of interesting characters like James Boswell and David Garrick and I absolutely loved the descriptions of the Drury Lane theater community with their squabbles and rivalries
