The Gentleman's Guide to Vice and Virtue
by Mackenzi Lee
The moment the audiobook started I sort of hated Monty. There was something in the way he passed words around that I distrusted. I have little respect for people who just throw their lives away with alcohol and whoring, especially when you have a someone you are madly in love with and I was able to tell from the first chapters that Percy returned the feelings.
Percy I loved from the very beginning. A sweet lad, with a strong desire to do what is right, to see the world and learn as much as possible. Yet held down by the color of his skin.
Felicity is for me the main character of this story. The author shows through this girl the small amount of rights women had, their struggle to enter fields men dominated simply because they believed women had to place among them.
Mackenzi Lee's writing style is very fluid, simple to follow and you don't realize when the pages are being turned. Still, I was promised a trip around Europe with a boy who is in love with his best friend and his sister who wants a proper education. I got an alchemical trip in Spain and Italy that was a bit of a disappointment. I was expecting this story to be a bit realistic, instead I got a hint of fantasy in it. And there are a few plot holes and answers that I want to be filled and answered. Hopefully in the second book.
The ending felt rushed, out of place. I was completely and utterly disappointed with it.
Overall, The Gentleman's Guide to Vice and Virtue is a fun trip, but ruins it as soon as the fantastical element enters play.
