The Nobleman's Guide to Scandal and Shipwrecks
by Mackenzi Lee
3.5 Stars. Yes, I have committed the cardinal sin of reading the third book without having finished the second, so feel free to ignore anything I have to say on it. But considering each book has a different narrator, follows a different storyline, and this one takes place 20 years after the others, I think it’s okay.
This book was ultimately quite good—Adrian is a very different narrator than Monty and overall it was a heavier book than the first one, but in a way that felt thoughtful and written with care regarding Adrian’s anxiety. I can’t say the plot was particularly interesting, though—much like some of the other characters, I thought Adrian’s quest was simply a series of unnecessary impulsive side quests. But Monty and Felicity! They’re still such a mess as adults, and I loved that about them.
