A good closure to this series and representation of mental illness. That being said as a person with anxiety who uses books to quiet those voices the narration of intrusive thoughts and fears was often exhausting. I think that’s what makes the portrayal so compelling but it was also a bit of a slog at times

Adrian Montague is nineteen, his mother is dead, his father is trying to pass Adrian the family seat in Parliament, and his anxiety is a constantly buzzing mess that takes up most of his brainwaves. He has a fiancee, a lot of books, and has recently come into possession of a spyglass that belonged to his mother. When he endeavors to find out more about his spyglass, he unravels twenty years of family secrets, and finds himself on a voyage he never expected. This book has pirates, gentlemen, old friends, new friends, and just the right amount of everything.

Adrian was likeable, relatable, and I love him very much.

This is my favorite book of the series. This book was well-plotted, long but not over-long, and never dragged. Unlike the previous books, every stop on this journey felt like it had purpose, action occurred, and I felt joy to be with them on this adventure. This book felt the most real to me.

Unpopular opinion under the spoiler cut:
Spoiler Felicity remained just as self-centered and frustrating as ever, and she was the one person I am glad to be free of, having now finished this series.
