3.5

This is sapphic regency romance with fairy tale magic and a humorous fairy narrator. I found it enjoyable and funny, but the relationship & story bored me a bit at times, especially the second half. However I appreciated all the unique elements! The writing style definitely won’t be for everyone (which is true about all books, haha). You might enjoy this if you like regency with a twist!
