Heartwarming! Fantastic! Took me a moment to get used to the British Lingo, but it absolutely rewards you for it in spades of literary charisma and charm!

I was so bored and didn't actually care about any of the characters. I felt like nearly a third of the way through, I should be interested and drawn in, but I wasn't at all.

I don’t usually recommend books to others as everyone has different tastes, but this one has it all! Mystery, historical setting, queer romance, magic, and a side of smut. The prose was rich without dragging the pacing down and the characters were compelling as they engaged with the plot.

If you're looking for a book full of magical secrets, no buried gays, and attempted shrub murder, this one's for you.
