The Nobleman's Guide to Scandal and Shipwrecks
by Mackenzi Lee
A wonderful wrap-up to the Montague Siblings series that I didn’t know I needed (but fortunately, Mackenzi Lee knew).
19-year-old Adrian Montague is dealing with the recent death of his mother. When his father hints that it was something other than an accidental fall off of a cliff, and shares a box of her personal effects, including the fragment of a spy glass that she always carried around, Adrian knows he must learn more. His search or information leads him to a brother and sister he never knew of, the (now 30-something) Monty and Felicity.
Getting the answers he is so desperate for will require dangerous sea journeys and deals with even more dangerous pirates. These things are challenging enough on their own— add in Adrian’s crippling anxiety and an older brother who does not bother to hide his lack of enthusiasm about Adrian’s presence, and things do not look promising for our hero.
My favorite thing about this installment? Lee’s sensitive and knowledgeable portrayal of a protagonist who struggles with mental illness. And who slowly learns that he is so much more than his anxiety.
Thank you to Katherine Tegen Books and NetGalley for the electronic arc.
