I fell in love with Maud from the first book and I thoroughly enjoyed reading her character in this one, finding out more of her past, what makes her tick, her strengths, her weaknesses, her absolutely crazy adventures. This one made me laugh so many times. And where I once disliked Jack from the first book, I fell hard for him in this one too, as he begrudgingly became close to Maud. Cinnamon roll heart, that one, even if he tries to come off as aloof and uncaring.

The blurb wasn't kidding when this one said it was like Knives Out, and the twists are turns were an absolute delight along with Maud and Violet's antics on the ship. Highly recommend this one for those wanting to read more historical fiction sapphics!

Sensational book!!!! Literally un-put-downable!!! Magical lesbians solving a shipboard murder and conspiring with hilarious and engaging allies to protect an artifact from nefarious forces. Really well plotted twists and interwoven character motivations! Sparkling descriptions and hot sex! Can't wait to read the next book in the series!! I hate to be like "this isn't Just a romance" bc I hate to talk down on romance but it really is in a class of its own.

A romp! Loved the setting, absolutely caught up in the story. Spicier than I remembered book 1 being.

Not as strong as the first book in the series. I had trouble getting into the plot in the first place and found it all a bit mechanical. Still fun.
