sarabearian 's review for:
The Gentleman's Guide to Vice and Virtue
by Mackenzi Lee
This is a wonderful adventure regarding a heart that heals all, and a key to end one’s suffering.
The author did a spectacular job at providing a beautiful view of love; the good and the bad. “It is impossible to explain how you can love someone so much that it’s difficult to be around him. And with Percy sitting there, half in shadow, his hair loose and his long legs and those eyes I could have lived and died in, it feels like there’s a space inside me that is so bright it burns.”
Love embodies many shapes and forms regardless of the host. A love that may be platonic to others and deep for some. This story is a vivid depiction of choosing to live, instead of choosing to suffer. Albeit in this story, suffering would have come with comfort and luxury, with an underlying hostility that would forever leave the main characters uncomfortable.
This read also emphasizes that love does not pay the bills, but love can fill unimaginable voids that money can’t. “But here he is, proposing we run away together with nothing but each other like some sort of star-crossed pair in a broadside ballad, and while my heart is ready to burst for loving him, love is not a thing you survive upon. You can’t eat love.”
Aside from the intrinsic feelings that wrap one’s heart around the characters, there is an abundance of adventure available to the characters and the reader. Ranging from Pirates to a sinking island, that sends the reader and the characters on an adventure that is well outside of their grasp. Yet, they do a great job of tackling each experience with grace. -Lynn O.
