    • 5/5
      The Scarlet Pimpernel only appears around page 80 of this book. Nevertheless, I enjoyed this book as much as the first novel written about him by Baroness Orczy and published, I believe, in 1905. Sir Percy is the epitome of the hero—unlike our modern ones—tall, handsome, well-dressed and, above all, a man of high principles and integrity.
    • 2/5
      Not good. Orczy is a little too in love with the French monarchy and aristocracy, and a lot too in love with the Scarlet Pimpernel...or maybe it's the other way around.
    • 5/5
      This book is as charming, thrilling, and passionate as the original! I'll confess prejudice; The Scarlet Pimpernel is my absolute favourite book in the world, and I'm madly in love with Sir Percy. But this book has so much to recommend it -- political intrigue, historical fiction, suspense thriller, spy and disguise, and, of course, unmatchable romance. One thing I love about El Dorado in comparison to the original is getting to see more of Percy and the League in action. El Dorado is a worthy successor to the Pimpernel legend.
