I really love this author’s writing and was looking forward to this book as I thoroughly enjoyed A far wilder magic but I couldn’t with this one.
I was utterly bored. My mind kept wandering off and I have nothing to think about right now so that says enough.

The main problem I had with this book was the MMC. He was incredibly moody and his behaviour was unpredictable. He switched really fast from being kind to being despicable. I know you have trauma my boy but you have a responsibility to get help.

The other thing I struggled with is the FMC. She was incredibly bland. She kept being described as being small and clumsy (VIOLET SORRENGAIL IS THAT YOU???) and those were probably her only traits.

I am disappointed as this book checked all my boxes (Bridgerton regency era vibes, sewing magic - i love that type of magic a lot -, political drama & gossip columns). But yeah, it sadly didn’t work for me.

Pre read ; This cover is incredibly pretty but the average rating is scaring me lol

Not super exciting or super immersive and expected it to be more Bridgerton gossipy since that was how it was advertised.

A fun regency-inspired fantasy that largely mirrors England’s historical relationship with Ireland. Fun main characters and tension-filled enemies to lovers plot complete with political intrigue. Very Bridgerton-esque!
