This is the conclusion of a trilogy, itself being the spinn off of another trilogy. Both of which I LOVED. Somehow, I was less hooked with 'Viscounts and Villainy'. I felt like thing were repeated a little too much for my liking, with a very straighforward plot. Which, let me be clear, was already present in the previous book, I was simply less bothered by it, being in a better mood. I suspect that when I reread this last book of Wesley and Sebastian's adventures, I might have a different opinion, and so I will try to write the rest of this review with that in mind.
In this tome, Wesley learns to be more vulnerable while still being his viscounty self, especially since their chase for the artefacts lead them back to England, among Wesley's peers. Sebastian, for his part, also need to compose with his own new vulnerabily after the events of book 2, even though it is quite clear since the beginning that things will get better. They both struggle, and yet never their relationship is questionned, only strengthened. It is nice to read, in a hopeful cosy way.
Jade and Zhang, as well as Arthur and Rory really play a sidekick role, either going on their own chase in another part of Europe or staying back in a village. Fair enough, it is Wesley and Sebastian's story after all.
The mystery/paranormal plot is all right. By that I mean that it works for its purpose of adding something to the romantic tension and moving the story forward by giving the characters something to do. Nothing too complicated, still enternaining.
Overall, a nice read and fair conclusion to the trilogy. I hope I will enjoy more once I reread it in a better headspace.

So here’s my problem when it comes to reading and reviewing Allie Therin books. I love them so much and live in that world so completely that when I finish the book, I am absolutely unable to have a response that isn’t simply just me yelling “I LOVE THEM” and “VIBES” and “Pero mira!” with a million exclamation marks but I’m going to give it a go.
I’ve been looking forward to this book since these characters were introduced four books ago and this book absolutely lived up to expectations. As many of you know, Wesley is one of my favorite characters of all time. He is snarky and witty and a little bit terrible and a lot of bit mean and he is absolutely perfect in his imperfection. I want to just fold him up and put him in my pocket for always.
As always, Allie Therin’s world building is top-notch and the character development is beautiful. The arc of the story absolutely keeps you turning the page from beginning to end. I cannot - CANNOT - recommend this book enough. I will miss these lovely babies so much.
