Like everything India Holton writes, this book is a delight. The wit and whimsy of Holton’s worlds and writing style are unmatched, and her characters are so well crafted and multidimensional. Her inclusion and celebration of neurodivergent protagonists in this book warmed my heart. This entire series is a wild romp full of pirates, witches, spies, and literary allusions, and I truly could not love it more.

This was such a fantastic read! I think League is still my favourite, but I really enjoyed the rivalry between Alice and Daniel and how that changed through their mission. There were some truly funny scenes - a pirate conga line, I loved it!
I did find this a little slower in some spots, and while I adored the epilogue for the amazing friendships and HEAs, I just wish there was something a little different than the traditional romance epilogue for all of the couples. Anyways, I will happily pick up India Holton's next books!

Two rival agents are forced to go undercover as a married pair of pirates to investigate the whereabouts of a weapon intended to kill Queen Victoria in this third and final book in India Holton’s Dangerous Damsels series. I found the setting limiting and the plot dragged for me, but the steam in this installment was the steamiest of the three, I loved the neurodivergence rep too, and Holton’s physical comedy always gets me.
