Recenzii
Praise
forThe
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.”
★“An incredible, must-have follow-up full of old characters and new, blood and guts, and a delightful barrage of sarcasm.”
★ “This action-driven adventure is a joy.”
“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.”
“A feminist feast that challenges societal norms and forgoes all romance, which is unconventional, albeit refreshing, in young adult literature.”
“[A] strong feminist credo.”
“The Lady’s Guide to Petticoats and Piracy is fun while still being thoughtful, feminist, and an ode to female friendship.”
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.”
★ “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.”
★ “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.”
★ “A gloriously swashbuckling affair.”
★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.
“Monty is pitch-perfect as a yearning, self-destructive, oblivious jerk of a hero who inspires equal parts sympathy, frustration, and adoration from reader. A genre tribute, satire, and exemplar in one.”
“Gentleman’s Guide to Vice and Virtue is the queer teen historical you didn’t know was missing from your life.”
“A rollicking ride that also turns a keen eye to issues like class, racism, homosexuality, and identity.”
