Oh my heart!....Monty and Percy are so freaking adorable. They had some cute fluffy, a little slow burn, and real relationship problems.
I love Monty's sister and yet hate her. I don't necessarily like all her dialogue but I lived that she was a woman of science and constantly brought solutions to the problems.
I also find it amazing that pirates are constantly the liberals of every story!
I don't think it quite deserves the comparison to My Lady Jane though. both books are Wonder and I adore them but they have in common being a historical fiction and being a comedy. The narration is the comedy in My Lady Jane because of the ridiculousness. This book gets it's comedy from the lead character mostly being so sarcastic and having relatively modern stances.
this book brings a romance that happens to be LGBTQ bi-racial (but it doesn't emphasize how amazing the LGBTQ bi-racial romance is) + traveling around Europe with some comedy while commenting on the ridiculousness of sexism, racism, homophobia (...plus some hypocrisy of those being sexism, racist and homophobic). A strong rebellious lady also makes an appearance but is by no means a focus of the story.
