The Lady's Guide to Petticoats and Piracy

The Gentleman's Guide to Vice and Virtue is one of my absolute favourite books. This book, while definitely not as good, was still brilliant.

Lee is very good at writing travelling adventures, and, while this book did have some odd pacing in places, it also had another grand adventure. I really liked Felicity's character and her navigation of the world she's in, as well as Johanna and Sim.
I also really appreciated how Felicity's exclusive, ‘not-like-other-girls' feminism, where she looks down upon Johanna and other girls because of their femininity, was challenged by Johanna herself.
I found the depiction of Sim and her family to be a bit...off? Like, I feel like the conversations about whether to study the dragons or leave them alone could have done with some more nuance, but this wasn't a huge issue.

And of course, I loved to see Monty and Percy again, and I'm really glad they showed up at the end of the book as well, they are my absolute favourites, I love them so much!
