Greatly exceeded my expectations. Adventurous and funny in all the right ways; this was the first book following baroque culture that I genuinely enjoyed. Plot points do get a touch repetitive.

This is me, screaming to the high heavens, about my good son, Henry Montague. I want him to have all the good things forever and ever more, even if he also happens to be the biggest fucking dumbass most of the time.

This wasn't the type of book I couldn't put down until the last third, but it was still down. A lot happens and usually when there are so many different plots going on I get overwhelmed, but the author did a good job weaving everything together so each adventure builds upon the story in an easy way. Monty, Percy and Felicity are such fun characters to adventure with and I really enjoyed how the book ended.
