Really good! I liked Monty and Percy and I hope they get everything they deserve in life

REALLY cute, love the jerk with a heart of gold/pining slut combination happening here with henry's character. felicia was delightful but a liiiiittle mary sue-ish for me?? idk if i just missed it or if we never heard from lockwood again but i would have liked some resolution with him lol the second half of the book was VERY action packed compared to the first but it was ok? overall super cute and the romance was EXCELLENT

I adoooooore this book so much. My heart swells with joy after finishing this. I love this and this has become one of my favorite books agad.

Mackenzi Lee wrote a proper adventure novel starring queer characters and I couldn't ask for more. The plot was straightforward and linear which made it very readable. And the characters and the circumstances made the whole novel much more exciting and colorful. The book had this feeling of cleanness to it and sharpness. It's probably on how the story was paced and told. Not much stray and subplot and everything worked out pretty well.

I love Monty's character so much. I hated him at the beginning, but I love his honesty, especially right at the end. And of course I love Percy, as well. And Felicity and Scipio! There was not a big group of characters, and it's fine. Their personalities and their stories more than made up for it.

I cried several times because I am a crier. And because I really do love this. I love a queer story set in unlikely settings. To echo Lee's notes at the end, I also like to believe that queer people have been able to live full romantic and sexual lives with the people they love in other wayyy wayyy before the modern age. I really love and adore this. I might reread it soonest.

Percy es un amor...
Y felicity ganó mi respetó cuando se suturo así misma, pero monti es una auténtica damisela o en este caso caballero en apuros bastante patético y aunque el final es lindo, la trama es bastante floja

This is the queer historic fiction book I never knew I needed. It is FANTASTIC.

4.5

listened to the audiobook and the narrator was eating this shit up ‼️

but this was such a fun little adventure of a troublesome trio traipsing around europe causing too much trouble and i enjoyed every second

and yet another set of gay characters that i must put in my little glass jar to protect from any and all harm
