I did enjoy The Witchwood Knot by Olivia Atwater a lot, but not as much as her regency fairly takes, or one of my all time favorite books: Small Miracles.
I was instantly in love with the no nonsense main character, who is very straight forward and doesn't let things like fairies or hauntings scare her.
I also liked the second main character, a very mysterious "monster" of a man.
I adored the mutual respect they grew, but the romance between these two didn't really work for me at all. I usually detest romance to be fair, so other people might love exactly what I don't.
Another bit that wasn't perfect for me was the mix of plot and pacing. I can absolutely love a glacial slow slice of life book, but here I just found the balance between "nothing is happening" and then some suspense scenes just not ideal.
As I enjoyed the characters, the world, the magic and the little glimpses behind the veil so much, it's still a good 4* book for me. I was just expecting a full happy 5*.

I really enjoyed this book! I will say that the end felt a bit rushed. I thought there might be a second book because it left me wanting more but that doesn’t seem to be the case. So I think there were a few loose ends that could’ve been tied up better.
