For the third time (fourth if you count a short story), Arabella Grimsboro, the 15 year-old foul-mouthed millennial, is trapped in the storyline of a public domain novel. Is AR technology at the mall that good? Or is it drugs? Or is she in a coma? Does it matter? Much of the humor is situational, Arabella doesn't fit in with society of the 19th century and hasn't read the books she is adventuring in. You can only chuckle so many times when she swears or imagines what the crew is doing behind closed doors.
