The Wisteria Society of Lady Scoundrels

An entertaining twist of the realm of piracy; lady pirates who are powerful and feared, pirates and women who look out for each other, magical pirates?? Ugh, it's met all of my standards.

Cecilia, our main character, is witty and thoughtful and navigates her relationship with Ned and her overprotective aunt in a way I think is familiar for many people with overbearing authority figures. She doesn't throw away aspects of herself or her dreams for love, and each of the Wisteria ladies were wonderful side characters that added a new twist of personality to the already one-of-a-kind cast.

3.5/5 rounded up because I really did enjoy this book. Not quite a five star for me, but lovers of the romance genre, magic, women who know what they want, and a dash of quirky events will likely enjoy it even more than I did.

the synopsis did not adequately prepare me for the actual content of this book. I would think if people are flying around in magical buildings using spells and stuff it would be important to mention that. I am not in the mood for full on historical fantasy and the synopsis gave me ZERO indication that's what this is when I picked it up off the shelf in the library. Not to mention the lack of any kind of explanation of the world, just thrown straight into the deep end. So, colour me confused when I managed 11% through this chaos of unexplained houses landing on houses and steering into ponds or whatever.

This is for someone, but that someone isn't me.
