cbh's review against another edition
The characters seemed too vapid for me. Maybe I'll pick it up later, but rather unbearable characters.

A fun adventure following Monty, the rakeish bisexual son of a lord, his younger sister Felicity, who wishes to become a physician, and Percy, Monty's Black best friend who he is desperately in love with. The trio set out on a Grand Tour of Europe but it doesn't take Monty to make an enemy of one of the most powerful men in France who chases them across the continent. There are touches of magic in this novel which I didn't expect at first.

La trama flojea pero la otp y los personajes son maravillosos, además tiene muy buena representación lgbt, solo por eso vale la pena.
Se hace ameno porque el protagonista es bastante gracioso y consigue mantenerte enganchado a la historia, sin embargo el final....no.
Sinceramente me gustó principalmente por la pareja principal ( no me escondo), es raro encontrar friends-to-lovers en vez de enemies-to-lovers en la literatura juvenil, por eso y porque son cuquísimos, un punto a favor :D.

I really liked this book. This is one of the few books that I have read from beginning to end that was a decent length. Going in, I didn't know what to expect. Coming out, it was well worth it. Is it a perfect book? No; because no book is perfect. Perfection can be such a touchy and disputable topic, and who cares if it is? What I got was a journey around the globe with a love story tied into it.

Rick Riordan's review summarised my feelings better than I can.
