Another great entry in one of my favorite series! So excited to see this on netgalley and getting to read it has been awesome.

Honestly wasn't very interested in this book beyond that I've loved the Lady Janie's books! This was a fantastic surprise! All little retelling cues inside one story, twists, and turns in the plot kept me engaged. I loved the believable relationships with perfect amounts of embarrassing funny moments.

It's aaaaaalive!!!! Another fun-filled romp from the Lady Janies! If you like the preceding books, you'll like this one as well. If you haven't read the previous books, this is a great entry with engaging characters, a ton of pop-culture references, and teensy bit of historical fiction. This entry follows Mary Shelley & Ada Lovelace, and yes, we do get to hang out with Lord Byron. There' s a light fantasy element as well.

Writing this review, I'm reminded of The Great's title card (and the tone in general tbh) - this is "an occasionally true story". Like, now I know how truly awful Percy Shelley was. Anyway, if you like The Great or any of Tony Macnamara's work, these books are like his stuff, but in book form, and as you may expect, it's delightful. My favorite is still Calamity Jane, but this was certainly a fun entry. 4 stars, and I can't wait for the next one.
