lighthearted
mysterious
medium-paced
- Plot- or character-driven? A mix
- Strong character development? It's complicated
- Loveable characters? Yes
- Diverse cast of characters? No
An enjoyable, lighthearted cozy fantasy mystery. For the most part, the anachronisms actually added to the charm, but the complete lack of acknowledgement that slavery was still happening during the book's time periods and in its general area sat poorly with me.

This book had me screaming all throughout the last 30% of the story. The tension build-up and release was PHENOMENALLY paced on all counts. The plots and subplots were all woven so well that I did not ever feel burdened with absorbing too much information at once, yet the world felt intricately detailed and fleshed out. I fell in love with each and every character, and even experienced sympathy for the antagonist. The author is a wordsmith. There is nothing I did not like about this book. I have already pre-ordered the sequel!
