This book is a delightful romp through a Regency London with magic and fairies and large quantities of scheming. Prunella is determined to get what she wants and Zacharias just wants a rest. They're both very lovable and I'd quite like to dive back in and meet them both for a second time!

Be warned there is a lot of period typical racism and misogyny. The main characters struggle against both in search of their goals and do, largely, prevail, but it is an unflinching depiction.
