A Fragile Entanglement by Alison Saft is a Bi x Bi fantasy romance in a Regency-esque fantasy world. Niamh has the magical ability to sew emotions and intentions into clothing, a small magic that wins her a lot of affection from those around her at court, including Prince Christian, aka, Kit. Kit wants to be left alone and to live his own life but due to his circumstances, he is forced into a wedding with Princess Rosa while Niamh is in Avaland to make their wedding clothes as a political move by Kit’s older brother, the prince regent.
It’s very soft, Saft’s prose is gorgeous and vivid, and the characters hit the right notes. The romance is exactly what I love to see and I was very much into how the story was crafted around the romantic storyline.
The Irish and English coding is very strong, including mentions of the Blight, aka the Irish Potato Famine, and there are mentions of alcoholism and self-harm.
I recommend this to fans of Regency era Romances who are looking for a bit more fantasy in their next read and fans of Romantasy.
