I love this series! The first book fully introduced me to histrom and I've enjoyed it so much since! (thanks Olivia!!)
The first one is still my favorite, but I like this one more than the second one. The characters in this one are particularly fun and admirable. I really appreciate the political aspects of this series and how Waite writes about how women were involved during this time, even without actual rights/power. She doesn't shy away from certain complicated topics, although she does write in diversity without discussing racism.
Maddie and Sophie's romance was very cute. They saw each other, and both immediately fell for each other. They had somewhat of a burn before falling head over heels, which I loved. I appreciated how they both didn't have family homophobia, and so their problems were outside forces instead.

Another perfectly cozy book with a great balance between romance and plot. Sad this appears to be the latest installation, would love to read more.
