I liked this second novel in the series even more than the first! It was delightful, spunky, and fun. I’ve already recommended it to several people!

I loved the mashup of genres and the quirky tone India set in this series with The Wisteria Society of Lady Scoundrels. I cannot think of a book to compare to its unique character. My expectations for The League were mildly out of control, to be honest. I wanted to dive back into this world full throttle.
Going into book two, there is the added addition of witches. Compared to pirates, they appear to be more proper, more reserved, and more intentional with their use of magic. While there is some exploration of the hard-knock-witch-life in this book, it focused more on the chemistry developing between love interests Alex and Charlotte and less on the fun world India has built.
The tongue-in-cheek way India writes is spot on and puts a smile on my face. Her wit and banter continues and shines. I am on the fence about whether this can be read as a standalone because I adored Wisteria to the point that it remains my favorite of the series.
I'm crossing my fingers - and toes! - that there's a book three (my googling skills are not giving me this information) and that it's about Miss Dearlove. IYKYK.
Thank you to Berkley and NetGalley for the advanced copy. All thoughts in this review are my own.

I struggle with rating this book. It’s clever and I love the unusual-ness of the writing and storyline. But at the same time I can put it down and not think about it for days.
