Absolutely loved the Fearless Ford sisters and hope we get a sequel or three! The authors did a wonderful job of giving us historical fiction junkies the perfect amount of adventure, a dash of romance, and feminist can-do as the Ford sisters solve problems and get into sticky situations. Really enjoyed the story being told from Lila and Tess' unique perspective and how they view the world and shared events. The only thing it lacked was tying up Tess' loose-end romance and what to do with their father who I think causes more trouble than anything.
I think most readers of the historical fiction and women's lit genres will enjoy this Indiana Jones-esque story of two sisters saving the world and finding their way back to each other.
Thanks, NetGalley and the publisher for a copy of the book for an honest review.

loved everything about the synopsis but didn't realize it was YA. i would have loved something like this when i was a teen but after giving this a chance, i realized it's just not for me anymore

Thank you to NetGalley and the Publisher for the Audio ARC of this book from NetGalley- this is my honest review:
I thought that this book was a great adventure. I loved that the story revolved around two sisters and their physical journey and but also their journey together as sisters and healing old wounds. I did find some of the story a bit unbelievable, in either the characters actions or their development, but overall I thought it was very charming.
I loved the narrators, I thought that they did a great job brining the story to life and adding dimension to the text.
