adventurous funny lighthearted mysterious medium-paced

4.0

A fun and engaging story set during Prohibition era New York, with an interesting magical world. The romance was very sweet but maybe moved a bit unbelievably fast, especially considering that Rory is only twenty and very inexperienced. But Arthur and Rory are both very lonely and it warms my heart to see two lonely characters find love together.
