5.0

This book is everything Assistant to the Villain wishes it could be. It’s funny and charming without trying too hard, the characters have enjoyable interactions, and the Queen is an absolute maniac. 

Cecelia has grown up with her aunt, training to be one of the most dastardly proper pirates that England has ever seen. They fly about in their house (yes, houses can fly) whichever way the wind and their whims take them. She is blown off course when her aunt and the rest of the Wisteria Society are abducted by her father, whose worst crime is his terrible poetry. Not so random encounters with Ned Lightbourne keep her guessing- is he friend or foe?- as she embarks on a daring rescue. 

There are certainly flaws but I cannot in good conscience give this less than five stars given how much it delighted me.

It is violence that best overcomes hate, vengeance that most certainly heals injury, and a good cup of tea that soothes the most anguished soul

Fun. Lighthearted. Witty. Trope-y. 
All in the best ways of course. Flying houses, pirates, badass (but still proper) ladies, and a fun romance to boot. Sometimes all you need is a fun book that takes you on a wild ride, and yep. That’s this.
