#once wanting to chew glass' and 'AHAHA 95TH RIFLES JUMPSCARE'
Text
I really do like it when you enter the book feeling Dread and Expecting The Horrors but instead you discover a book which is. Fairly Okay Actually.
#the captain's library#my reviews thus far for 'a lady for a duke' are 'I do not think I am the target audience for this but I've gotten halfway through without#once wanting to chew glass' and 'AHAHA 95TH RIFLES JUMPSCARE'#95th rifles everywhere forever. funny as all get-out that this keeps happening.#anyway. more to the point I think that my quibbles are mostly in the vein of Well The Book Wasn't Really Trying To Do That#(setting-texture and specific clothing logistics being the main ones here)#and I feel like the parts of the plot that revolve around community and identity and addiction are being smoothed out too easily#but Then Again my bar for 'strangegirl/man with laudanum problem and also napoleon is there' is diana/stephen#and nothing is ever going to be on pob's level for Whatever That Is.#the gender parts of the deal are so far nothing worth writing home about but it's nice that the book exists!#all in all it's not going to be a favorite or a reread but it's light and not terrible and I'm having a Little fun at the very least
