This was a delightful and absurd book about regency-era pirate women who instead of captaining boats fly houses using an incantation. They are combatting a self-aggrandizing incel of the Victorian era and it is hilarious. This book knows exactly what it is -- it is leaning into all of the tropes of a bodice-ripper while also lampooning norms of the era and turning them in their head. So fabulous and I can't wait to read the next two!
