They all levitate stuff and don’t actually have a geniune reason to be fighting – they just wake up and choose violence, which I can understand.Ĭharlotte Pettifer, our heroine, has been – fraudulently – prophesized as Black Beryl’s heir, and will soon inherit The Wicken League.
The League of Gentlewomen Witches introduces the witches as the pirates’ enemies. I mean!!!!! What? Put it in my veins!!!!! I fell in love with The Wisteria Society of Lady Scoundrels last year, and the insane premise that a woman known as Black Beryl found an enchantment in a bottle brought in by the sea which allowed her to levitate any object, thus creating a culture of lady pirates whose ships were their flying houses. Overall, it's an okay read if you just read it for the historical romance. Shame about the plot tho cause the book is actually well written but the whole amulet journey did not appeal to me. I liked how this book didn't have too many characters compared to the first one. It was angsty in some places but I won't be nit picking over it cause the two actually make a good couple and have chemistry. I would've preferred some longing, slow burn. Ned still continued to be charming and I loved it.Īlthough an enemies to allies to lovers, the romance came across as insta lusty to me. Ned and Cecilia make appearances throughout the book and their presence overpowered Alex and Charlotte's easily. Not me saying she couldn't create magic even tho she's a witch. Charlotte, our FMC was okay-ish but even after 324 pages, I don't know much about her 🤷♀️ She has her moments, she's witty at times but couldn't create the same magic as Cecilia.
I started warming up to him in the second half of the book but there's not much to his personality except for being a pirate and loving Charlotte (which he does quite well).
It was supposedly very powerful and blah blah blah but all I cared about was the romance, which India Holton does write well.Īlex, our MMC wasn't half as charming as Ned in the Wisteria Society. It sounds good but I had problems with it in the sense, that except for the romance I had zero interest in the amulet which was a major part of the plot. Both enemies to each other, find themselves in a position where they become allies. The plot is pretty simple, the pirate and the witch hunting for an amulet for their own purposes. While I absolutely adored the first book, this one fell short and could not compete. This is the second book in the series, The Wisteria Society of Lady Scoundrels. ✔️ Insta lusty with angst (if that makes sense) The Princess Bride meets Jane Austen in this quirky romance. Into a life of endless wondrous beginnings."
