Monty is a hero worthy of Oscar Wilde. - ALA Booklist (starred review) The book's exquisite, bygone meter and vernacular sit comfortably on a contemporary shelf. And the friction of racism, tyrannical entitled politicians, and misguided disapproval of homosexuality also have a relevance rooted in current culture's xeno- and homophobia.

A stunning powerhouse of a story for every collection. - School Library Journal (starred review) A gloriously swashbuckling affair. - Publishers Weekly (starred review) Mackenzi Lee (This Monstrous Thing) combines her knowledge of European history with a contemporary, comic sensibility to create an over-the-top romantic adventure complete with cliff-hanging chapter endings and sometimes outrageous narration.

This book makes me want to unrequite my own love so I can requite him all over again. - Heidi Heilig, author of The Girl From Everywhere Don't read this book unless you like adventure, hijinks, and forbidden romance, and if you do, then read it twice. - Stacey Lee, author of The Secret of a Heart Note and Under a Painted Sky An outrageously fun, witty, fascinating, and romantic adventure, starring a memorable trio I'd happily travel with for ages.
