Significantly heavier in topic than the summary blurb suggests, with a bit more magic involved than expected. A good read with good characters.

Overall, I really enjoyed this book, and I found listening to the audiobook really enjoyable Christian Coulson who was the narrator of this book was really good, I think their characterisation of Monty really made the book even more enjoyable.  This is a great adventure book with a lovely friends to lovers romance story as well, i also think the character development of monty also made the romance all the better and earned for him as a character.

Ooo! A book got 5 whole stars! Usually, that means it did something extraordinary, and it did exactly that! I have never been so sure I wanted to buy a book in my life!

Beyond that, I suppose I should talk about the book. This book is utterly fascinating for a variety of reasons. For one, it's grounded in history but it's not bleak for the characters of color. Slavery is mentioned, as it somewhat has to be for a book set in the 18th century, it's not weighing heavily on the narrative. A second thing is that
