5.0

This book had exactly what I like. The magic system was interesting and I want to learn more about it. Robin and Edwin were a delight; loved their banter, their tension, their honesty. <3
A bit steamier than I thought it would be, but that's fine by me!

A super fun queer historical fiction set in the world of magical England at the turn of the 20th century. Robin has taken what seems to be a dead-end job in the British government when he quickly discovers through a paperwork error he’s now the liaison to Britain’s secret magical world. He and his counterpart Gideon are thrust into a series of mysterious events as they try to discover what happened to his predecessor. It started a little slow while the world is being built, but I REALLY enjoyed it. It’s sexy, interesting, snobby in the best ways, and I’m excited there is another book set in this world to come.

I want to write a review that sums up all that I feel about this book but I don’t know if it’s possible.

Have you ever read a book that at first you think, ‘what is this? The cover is pretty. I’ll give it a try.’ And then a few pages in you’re kind of like, ‘I don’t know if I’m in the mood for this’, but you keep reading, and then suddenly you’re being transported to world both familiar and different? Well, that mess of a sentence is the best way I can describe my experience with this book. 

I wanted to jump inside of it. I wanted to see it’s magic system in action and drink tea with the slightly grumpy magical librarian and his accidental non-magical himboesque partner. 

All of the fantasy and romance elements blended together to make up this story that just sucked me in. I can’t wait to read more books set in this world and learn more about the magic that inhabits it.

Read if you’re looking for fantasy, M/M romance, a book that goes down like a cup of magical tea, or a story set in an alternate Edwardian England (early 1900s).
