4.0
[b:The Gentleman's Guide to Vice and Virtue|29283884|The Gentleman's Guide to Vice and Virtue (Montague Siblings, #1)|Mackenzi Lee|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1492601464s/29283884.jpg|49527118] was my favorite book of last year, so to say i had high expectations for this one is an understatement. and i ended up loving it nonetheless.
this was a bit different from gentleman's guide, more mystery-focused and less adventure-romp-y, but still had all the same sparkling wit, impeccable historical detail, and gorgeous character work. i was nervous at first because i admit, i wasn't crazy about felicity from the first book. to me, she came off judgey and even borderline homophobic regarding monty's bisexuality. but felicity undergoes some wonderful--and much needed--character development that involves her getting over her "not like other girls" syndrome, and it's so, so good! and other girls are the ones that bring about that change! felicity recognizes her flaws and overcomes them through the power of girl solidarity!! we stan!!!!!
ultimately, i ride so fucking hard for the power of love between women, whether that be platonic or romantic love, and this book had barrels of both.
get it? barrels? because pirates?? i'll see myself out
