simonlorden 's review for:
The Lady's Guide to Petticoats and Piracy
by Mackenzi Lee
I have just taken an overly large bite of iced bun when Callum slices his finger off.
Can we talk about how this book just had everything?
* An aroace protagonist who sometimes wonders if she should just settle for a kind man, but eventually realises it's not worth forcing her heart somewhere it shouldn't be, and she's perfect on her own.
* Badass ladies who are very different from each other, and have different aspirations, but they all want MORE than men would allow them, so they work together to reach those goals.
* Monty and Percy being amazing and in love and having their own quiet life, with neither of their disabilities erased.
* Monty and Felicity's sibling relationship, which is complicated and not always good and yet they would go to the end of the earth for each other (with only mild complaining). I screamed when we are reunited with Monty.
* Felicity having flaws, but being called out on them and learning that she was wrong. This is something that was also VERY true with Monty in his own book, because he fucked up a lot.
* Felicity being a medical genius just from books and her own talent.
* A big dog.
(Yes, it still gets 4 stars, because I loved it, but it didn't quite live up to the first one for me. Still good, though.)
