 9/10. I loved this book. I wasn't aware that Monty and Percy would make an appearance in this one, but I'm glad they did. The exploration of asexuality/aromanticism was really awesome and well done (but I'm not asexual or aromantic so don't just take my word on it). I also really enjoyed the exploration and tensions of female friendship. And I loved how Felicity had to grapple with the notion of feminine + strong women instead of one or the other. Both Johanna and Sim were such fresh characters, I enjoyed them both a lot. Highly recommend.

kharlan3's review against another edition

(ace, adventure, fantasy, YA, regency). This book made me laugh aloud multiple times, which is rare. I was so scared Felicity was gonna fall in love and not be ace, she didn’t (thank goodness). I liked her self discovery journey a lot, and her “even feminine girls are cool and strong and amazing” arc even more. There was a smidge more gender essentialist language (women can handle blood because periods) than I would have liked, but it felt era-realistic.
