This was fun and enjoyable. I loved the concept of the flying houses. 

Loved how ned was just so head over heels from first sight. I love insta love from one partner! 

I did enjoy the Flowery language lol but it did sometimes get a bit much. I also wanted a bit more 🌶️ if ya know what I mean. Like ONE more scene at the end! 

I also wanted a bit more priateing. I would have loved a scene of them stealing some jewels or something from a house like they talked about a lot!

This book is hilarious. Laugh out loud funny. It’s pride and prejudice, if written in 2020, with the humor of The Princess Bride…and they’re in the supernatural world. It’s definitely a niche book but it’s my niche! I’m definitely continuing the series based on the hilarious banter alone. If you need a whimsical laugh, you have to read it!

such a gentle romance mixed with an action-packed adventure full of hidden knives and quick wit, i enjoyed this story much more than i ever expected to and am relieved of that fact.

Be prepared for the prose of the book, since it is meant to be dry and decorative, thus providing a foil to the outrageous narrative.

Despite the violence, no one really ends up murdered or brutally hurt in the novel. It is a comedy after all.

I really enjoyed this book. I surprised me how much! I was trying to explain this book to some friends and the best I can come up with is a weird and wonderful romcom that feels like if you mashed together My Lady Jane and Pride and Prejudice or Bridgerton, but make it Victorian 😅

I absolutely loved the characters - obviously the two main characters but I also just found so many from the Wisteria Society hilarious!? And the quotes and misquotes from classic poets were so fun! Loved seeing a bit of Wordsworth and Byron mixed in with the Brönte quotes.

You definitely have to suspend reality but when don't we in books? Very enjoyable and I laughed out loud numerous times!
