"Lee's writing is as exquisite as ever, in both the nuanced rendering of Adrian's emotional landscape and the gritty world surrounding him. Fans and newcomers to Lee's trilogy will delight in a swashbuckling tale grounded in compassion and love." - School Library Journal (starred review)
"Packed with political intrigue, romance (gay and straight), angry pirates, ghost stories and more powerful female leaders than you can shake a cutlass at." - ShelfAwareness (starred review)
"Series fans can expect another wonderful round of exciting journeys, unique personalities, surprising historical details, beautiful romance, and scrutiny of social-justice issues." - Booklist (starred review)
"Lee crafts an absorbing adventure with dangerous stakes, dynamic character growth, sharp social and political commentary, and a storm of emotion... An enticing, turbulent, and satisfying final voyage." - Kirkus Reviews
Praise for THE LADY'S GUIDE TO PETTICOATS AND PIRACY: "[Lee] develops a world rich in historical detail, crafts a plot wild with unexpected turns, and explores complex topics like colonization and identity. An empowering and energetic adventure that celebrates friendship between women." - Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
"An incredible, must-have follow-up full of old characters and new, blood and guts, and a delightful barrage of sarcasm." - School Library Journal (starred review)
"This action-driven adventure is a joy." - ALA Booklist (starred review)
"A beautifully brilliant story about feminism, female friendship, privilege, sexism in the 17th century, and doing all you can to fulfill your passion and dreams." - Buzzfeed
"A feminist feast that challenges societal norms and forgoes all romance, which is unconventional, albeit refreshing, in young adult literature."
- BookPage
"[A] strong feminist credo." - The Horn Book
"The Lady's Guide to Petticoats and Piracy is fun while still being thoughtful, feminist, and an ode to female friendship." - Bustle
Praise for THE GENTLEMAN'S GUIDE TO VICE AND VIRTUE: "Tongue-in-cheek, wildly entertaining, and anachronistic in only the most delightful ways, this is a gleeful romp through history. 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. Austen, Wilde, and Indiana Jones converge in this deliciously anachronistic bonbon." - Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
"This is a witty, romantic, and exceedingly smart look at discovering one's place in the world. 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. Monty is a licentious, flawed and engaging 18th-century hero. - Shelf Awareness (starred review)
"Gentleman's Guide to Vice and Virtue is the queer teen historical you didn't know was missing from your life."
- Teen Vogue ("Best Queer Books to Celebrate Pride 2017")
"A rollicking ride that also turns a keen eye to issues like class, racism, homosexuality, and identity." - Brightly
"Careening from fete to fiasco on a Grand Tour of 18th century Europe, THE GENTLEMEN'S GUIDE TO VICE AND VIRTUE is a dizzying, dazzling, and roguishly romantic romp. 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. Lee is a definite force in diverse historical YA." - Dahlia Adler, founder of LGBTQ Reads and author of Under the Lights
"A swashbuckling, fantastical coming-of-age adventure that quite simply swallowed me whole."
