Return to the enchanting world of the Montague siblings in the finale to the New York Times bestselling and Stonewall Honor-winning series, featuring a teenage Adrian Montague as he desperately seeks the now adult Monty and Felicity—the older siblings he never knew he had. Adrian Montague has a bright future. The sole heir to his father’s estate, he is an up and coming political writer and engaged to an activist who challenges and inspires him. But most young Lords aren’t battling the debilitating anxiety Adrian secretly lives with, or the growing fear that it might consume him and all he hopes to accomplish. In the wake of his mother’s unexpected death, Adrian is also concerned people will find out that he has the mental illness she struggled with for years. When a newly found keepsake of hers—a piece of a broken spyglass—comes into Adrian’s possession, he’s thrust into the past and finds himself face to face with an older brother he never knew he had. Henry “Monty” Montague has been living quietly in London for years, and his sudden appearance sends Adrian on a quest to unravel family secrets that only the spyglass can answer. In pursuit of answers about the relic, the brothers chart a course to locate their sister Felicity. But as they travel between the pirate courts of Rabat, Portuguese islands, the canals of Amsterdam, and into unknown Artic waters, the Montague siblings are thrown into one final adventure as they face a ghostly legend that threatens their whole family.

This child has so much anxiety that it gave my anxiety anxiety and I had to stop reading for a month but we made it eventually
I just loved this! Adrian is a really endearing narrator. His anxiety just oozes off the page, as well as his good intentions and difficulty in achieving them. And I really loved seeing the elder Montagues in action. Really satisfying character and plot work! I couldn't put it down.
Good, if a bit disappointing.
I enjoyed this book; it's certainly one of the longest I've ever read! But I feel like it, and the Lady's Guide to Petticoats and Piracy just didn't quite capture the magic of the Gentleman's Guide. I liked Adrian as a character and the way his anxiety was depicted was so soo good, especially in a historical setting. I, of course, loved all the characters, though there were some things that annoyed me, and some loose ends, such as possible a lack of development of Monty's side plots, such as his uncertainty about marrying Percy and the fact that he fell off the wagon and it wasn't really talked about much? Like, that sucks, especially since Monty is my absolute favourite character.
I also wish there'd been more development of Felicity's falling out with the Crown and Clever, and also with Saad and Sim's characters.
Also, it was an utter tragedy that we got as little of Louisa and Percy as we did! Percy is so brilliant I would've loved to see more of him, especially in the last book of the series, and Louisa seemed like a really cool character but we never really got to know her.
It was definitely a very good book, and I would wholly recommend it, it just didn't live up to the first book, unfortunately, but these things never do.
