The Gentleman's Guide to Vice and Virtue by Mackenzi LeeMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
I was pretty excited to read this, the tone sounded like a fun rollicking adventure. I was not quite prepared for the depth of feelings that Monty and Percy express. But at the same time, oh good lord but did I wan't to give Monty a good shaking!
The almost willful blindness to other people by Monty gets a bit much, at a few points I would not have blamed his sister and Percy if they just left him.
Perhaps all 18 year old rich boys can be that irritating, but it did get a bit wearing to where I wasn't really excited to read further. Thank goodness for Monty's sister Felicity.
I'm glad to see that the follow-up book seems to be about her as the whole second half of this one I just found myself wanting to hang out with her.
All in all, it had an interesting take on some very serious subjects so the narrative got a bit intense but it was a good read. Not quite as fun as I had hoped, but at least it gave us Felicity.
