Almost as much fun as its predecessor! Love a good story where a character has - to quote Tangled - to find a new dream and everything works out but not exactly the way they’d thought but it’s okay :’) I love Felicity Montague so much!!!!!! I love Joanna and Sym and Monty and even Platt as a character!!!!!!!!! Most of all I really love found family!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A good romp, if a little... simplistic at times? If you're looking for something really nuanced, look elsewhere. But if you're looking for a bunch of cool women telling shitty men to fuck off, you'll have a good time.

I really enjoyed the first book in the series (The Gentleman's Guide to Vice and Virtue) even though I found Monty insufferable at the beginning. Percy and Felicity really carried the interest for me until Monty had some character growth. I had a feeling I would love this book from loving Felicity in the last book, and the audiobook was narrated by one of my favorite narrators Moira Quirk. It was a recipe for success and it was delicious. I loved it from the first few sentences, and I never stopped. There are a few less set pieces and side characters in this one compared to the first book, but I didn't mind and it helped keep the narrative moving more quickly I think. I loved seeing Monty and Percy again. I loved the new characters we met. I loved the ace representation. Perfect book for me.
