Summary
In this highly anticipated sequel to the New York Times best-selling The Gentleman’s Guide to Vice and Virtue, Felicity Montague must use all her womanly wits and wiles to achieve her dreams of becoming a doctor - even if she has to scheme her way across Europe to do it. A must-have for fans of Mackenzi Lee’s extraordinary and Stonewall Honor-winning novel.
A year after an accidentally whirlwind grand tour with her brother Monty, Felicity Montague has returned to England with two goals in mind - avoid the marriage proposal of a lovestruck suitor from Edinburgh and enroll in medical school. However, her intellect and passion will never be enough in the eyes of the administrators, who see men as the sole guardians of science.
But then a window of opportunity opens - a doctor she idolizes is marrying an old friend of hers in Germany. Felicity believes if she could meet this man he could change her future, but she has no money of her own to make the trip. Luckily, a mysterious young woman is willing to pay Felicity’s way, so long as she’s allowed to travel with Felicity disguised as her maid.
In spite of her suspicions, Felicity agrees, but once the girl’s true motives are revealed, Felicity becomes part of a perilous quest that leads them from the German countryside to the promenades of Zurich to secrets lurking beneath the Atlantic.
Critic reviews
"Moira Quirk gives crisp, purposeful voice to Felicity Montague, a young Englishwoman in the 1700s with the single-minded ambition to become a doctor - a path that seems hopelessly closed to her.... Quirk makes the most of her portrayal of Johanna, whose high, girlish voice rises and falls with her emotions and belies her strength and ingenuity....listeners will be rooting all the way for these formidable women who are determined to carve out lives for themselves on their own terms."

Great story, great narration, terrible accents!
I had a lovely time listening to this light feminist adventure, and the narrator did a pretty good job a part from her terrible impression at a North African accent which as a Tunisian got me out of the story a bit as it's... really bad.
but apart from this minor detail which won't be nearly as annoying if you haven't grown up around North African folks, I embarked on this tale and sailed at full speed, enjoying myself immensely

So glad for a second book
I stumbled on the first book as a recommendation via Audible and it was brilliant.
as soon as it ended I was left wanting more. Once I saw this was released I stated it straight away and was not disappointed. I loved the new new characters and story, beautifully performed and utterly addictive.
here is hoping for another instalment

Ridiculously Good!
Fantastic sequel to GGTVV! Great to hear about Felicity's travels whilst still getting little updates about Monty and Percy. It's so rare to find a book which has female and LGBT characters written so wonderfully!
Would definitely recommend!

Not as good as the first
Not as funny or irreverent as The Gentleman's Guide to Vice and Violence and more of a older teens book. It is well written and narrated.

Felicity was my favourite character from Book 1
This book was quite different to Gentleman's Guide and I enjoyed it more. Felicity was my favourite character from The Gentleman's Guide to Vice and Virtue which is why I wanted to read this sequel. It was great to have a whole book dedicated to her.
Great narration as the main character though a couple of the side characters' accents were a bit suspect.

Not as good as first book but still enjoyable
I absolutely loved the Gentleman's guide to vice and virtue, so I was rather happy when I found out there was a second book.
I wished there was a little more humour in this book like there was in the first one. I liked the story, and I love Felicity, but it didn't gel as well as the first one.
The narrator did a great job for the most part, expect for Monty's voice. It sounded too cockney for my liking, and not different enough from Platt's.

Girls too Wild for the World
Felicity Montague is a fabulous narrator and a perfectly imperfect role model for stubbornly ambitious girls living in any century. It was great to see her leave the boys behind and go on her own voyage with two strikingly different yet equally admirable female accomplices (though minimal Monty was still marvelous Monty and I was delighted whenever he and Percy appeared) Once again, Lee's 18th century setting is lush and vivid and made accessible to 21st century readers with lashings of quirky humor. I got this on audiobook and am sure I was smiling giddily or getting sentimentally tearful whenever I was listening to it. I loved it. I have to pray Mackenzie Lee is not yet bored of writing about the Montague Siblings because I'm still craving more of their adventures.
