When I saw this book was ~450 pages, I truly believed I would get bored or that it would be too long. Few romance books need to be that long. But this was so incredibly enjoyable and engaging. With a good background plot as well to carry the romance through and a male lead that one can only find in books like this

But it just didn't work for me. Hall's bio says "genrequeer" and I'd say that's accurate. Overall, though, this one didn't work me. I went through a phase where I read a ton of historical romance. In comparison to the authors who have focused their writing careers in those eras, this one felt clunky. The historical dialogue and descriptions didn't ring quite true.
Great concept, but the execution didn't work out for me.
