Now, the book was good, but I could hardly see it as a sequel to Ishmael Worth. So Self-Raised, which is toted as the continuation of Ishmael Worth's journey, is actually just the soap opera of Claudia Merlin's actions. In the first book, Claudia Merlin is the spoiled, selfish heiress who has captured Ishmael's heart, but Claudia who is so intent on money and title could never see lowly Ishmael as her equal. However, I was somewhat disappointed, solely because the whole story did not focus on Ishmael, but rather the melodrama of Claudia Merlin. Upon finishing Ishmael, I was excited to read up on its sequel Self-Raised. ![]() ![]() Her second stay in Brussels was not a happy one.
