The Wisteria Society of Lady Scoundrels by India Holton

4.0

Oh this is a ridiculous book. Utterly, sublimely ridiculous. I don't normally read things quite this ridic. and I worried at first that it might wear out its welcome quickly but it really didn't. It's a tale of tea, jeopardy and Victorian pirate ladies in flying houses and definitely very light and silly, in a Princess Bride kind of a way, but it also has a lot of heart and emotion, in a Princess Bride kind of a way. The way the characters do violence while being genteel reminded me of Steed and Mrs Peel, if they were a bit less honourable and more prone to stealing things. There's a proper romance plot between Ned and Cecilia with plenty of heat and fervent kissing and a bit more besides, and a lovely ending.
