I've been enjoying "Half A Soul" up until the very end—even with all its  plotholes, somehow repetitive writing, at times wonky dialogues and a caricatorius villian—but the last sentence spoiled the effect. If I'm not mistaken, This MC's "condition" is an allegory to autism, and if so, then the whole message about being accepted as you are, deserving love even if you're different etc. gets destroyed by the end of the novel.

In the epilogue, after the story already came to it's natural—and satisfying—conclusion, the MC, apparently, somehow gets her soul restored. It's a terrible decision that erases all the character growth and quite literally the whole point of the story.

 
It could be a nice, heart-warming fantasy romance but ended up being an OK-written underbaked Disney-like adventure with a shaky background instead.

Quick and easy. The romance was very cute, the regency setting not overdone (imo) it’s just a very quaint book. Not too much of everything so if u want regency-lite, faerie-lite, mystery-lite this is the book for you.

I absolutely loved this! It was the perfect blend of historical romance and fantasy, with lovable characters, fun writing, and a riveting plot. Can't wait to read the rest of the series.
