Snowspelled by Stephanie Burgis
3.0
3.5 stars
The Harwood/Angland world is an interesting combination of Regency and fantasy/magic. This is a matriarchy where the women are the politicians, and the more emotional men are mages. Race and sexuality are not an issue, but it's unheard of to break through the male/female role stereotypes.
The Audiobook came bundled with a short novella that started the world-building and introduced the Harwoods, including Cassandra, the heroine of this book.
I clicked 'Christmas' but this is actually about the winter solstice.
Cover: Gorgeous
Narrator: Nicely done
Hogwarts Sorting Hat: This is a bit puzzling but I think Cassandra might be a Slytherin and her fiancee a Ravenclaw?
Themes: fantasy, magic, winter solstice, elves, gender roles, Regency, family
