The Nobleman's Guide to Scandal and Shipwrecks by Mackenzi Lee

5.0

Adrian Montague is nineteen, his mother is dead, his father is trying to pass Adrian the family seat in Parliament, and his anxiety is a constantly buzzing mess that takes up most of his brainwaves. He has a fiancee, a lot of books, and has recently come into possession of a spyglass that belonged to his mother. When he endeavors to find out more about his spyglass, he unravels twenty years of family secrets, and finds himself on a voyage he never expected. This book has pirates, gentlemen, old friends, new friends, and just the right amount of everything.

Adrian was likeable, relatable, and I love him very much.

This is my favorite book of the series. This book was well-plotted, long but not over-long, and never dragged. Unlike the previous books, every stop on this journey felt like it had purpose, action occurred, and I felt joy to be with them on this adventure. This book felt the most real to me.

Felicity remained just as self-centered and frustrating as ever, and she was the one person I am glad to be free of, having now finished this series.
