It was ok, but I wouldn’t say it’s any similar to Gentleman’s Guide to Virtue series as the author of that one does take history (specifically historical context) seriously. This is more campy and modernized but not always fun or funny. I feel like the authors wanted to discuss “heavy” topics (eđians vs verity, plus the weird feminist lesson shoved in there) but when push came to shove they took the easy way out of pretending it’s all a joke. Lots of things go unquestioned and overtime it made me care less for the characters as the stakes were so low and the romance kind of set in stone from the get go.
Would recommend if you have time to kill but definitely not if you liked Monty et al and want something similar.
