The Nobleman's Guide to Scandal and Shipwrecks by Mackenzi Lee

3.0

I'm shocked I'm saying this, but I simply didn't love this one as much as the other two, sadly! I think my main issue was that Percy is my favorite character and there wasn't nearrrrrly enough of him in this book!!! That said, it was a touching ending to the series and Adrian was a really well-written and compelling character. Everything he was feeling and struggling with absolutely leapt off the pages, and felt so visceral and heart-rending. I didn't get a ton of chemistry between him and Louisa, but I guess not everyone is Percy and Monty ;) It was wonderful to visit all our old friends in various parts of the world, I genuinely felt like I was reuniting with them!

Lastly, something that bothered me a bit was that Adrian simply left one day and gallivanted all over the world, and there was no interference from his father? No letters demanding he come home? No cutting of the purse strings? Perhaps we were to infer that his father was too unwell to care/notice, but it seemed so different to Monty's experience. Surely saying he was in Cheshire would only conceal his disappearance for a few weeks?
