The Nobleman's Guide to Scandal and Shipwrecks

De: Mackenzi Lee

Narrado por: Christian Coulson

Return to the enchanting world of the Montague siblings in the finale to the New York Times bestselling and Stonewall Honor-winning series, featuring a teenage Adrian Montague as he desperately seeks the now adult Monty and Felicity—the older siblings he never knew he had.

Adrian Montague has a bright future. The sole heir to his father’s estate, he is an up and coming political writer and engaged to an activist who challenges and inspires him. But most young Lords aren’t battling the debilitating anxiety Adrian secretly lives with, or the growing fear that it might consume him and all he hopes to accomplish. In the wake of his mother’s unexpected death, Adrian is also concerned people will find out that he has the mental illness she struggled with for years.

When a newly found keepsake of hers—a piece of a broken spyglass—comes into Adrian’s possession, he’s thrust into the past and finds himself face to face with an older brother he never knew he had. Henry “Monty” Montague has been living quietly in London for years, and his sudden appearance sends Adrian on a quest to unravel family secrets that only the spyglass can answer.

In pursuit of answers about the relic, the brothers chart a course to locate their sister Felicity. But as they travel between the pirate courts of Rabat, Portuguese islands, the canals of Amsterdam, and into unknown Artic waters, the Montague siblings are thrown into one final adventure as they face a ghostly legend that threatens their whole family.

Beautiful insight into the anxious mind

Such an amazing ending to the trilogy an what a great addition. Loved Adrian as a character and his perspective as well as the say Monty and Felicity's stories progressed since the second book

love this series, love this book

The Gentleman's Guide to Vice and Virtue is one of my very favorite audiobooks, and the Nobleman's Guide to Scandal and Shipwrecks is a worthy sequel. I adore Monty and was so happy he came back as a major character in this book and seeing the love of the Montague siblings is so touching. I also love Adrian, who we last saw 20 years ago as a colicky baby. Like all the Montagues he struggles with his mental health, and his thought patterns are just so relatable I couldn't help but love him.

Once again we are on an adventure around the world in search of magic so subtle we are left wondering if it is real or not. If you are hoping for a love like Monty and Percy again, we see some continuation of their relationship but Adrian (our MC) has already found love and his fiancée stays behind and doesn't participate in the adventures. the focus of this book is much more focused on mental health and familial love, which was wonderful, but don't come in hoping for much romance (though the ending with Monty and Percy is adorable and wonderful).

Long story short, this is the perfect end to the Montagues, I laughed, I cried, if you read the previous books, get this one too.
p.s. Christian Coulson narrates again and I cannot stress how amazing a job he does

A beautiful end to an Adventurous trilogy.

I love the realistic characters and their flaws and how well the Monetegues stick together. Another fun tale and a great ending to our heroes' tales.

Wish the series kept going

I’ve loved this series and don’t want it to end. It was great to finally see all the siblings together. 

A great ending to an excellent series!

Excellent ending to the series. One of my favorite series has come to an end and I'm a bit speechless. Adrian is a great character who struggles with generalized anxiety disorder and a bit of OCD, but, as the book shows us, he is much more than just his illness. He managed to reunite with his siblings and embark in a journey to several different countries—a journey which is as much physical as internal. I wish we had even more time with these characters, but I'm happy to let them go live their lives. If you've read the other two, you already know you can't miss this one.
