I was a fan of the regency era feeling mixed with fantasy. I felt like from this elements it made this read unique from other books I've read. Overall, it wasn't my favorite or even memorable,. but it was a cute and light romance.

This was great fun, but I did find the ending a little bit sudden, and wanted things a little more wrapped up (and/or fleshed out).

This was such a delight!!

This really scratched the Regency itch I got from watching Bridgerton season 3. But managed to be completely its own thing and do a lot more than your average Regency romance.

This had all the typical whimsy and fun of a Regency romance, while also providing some biting commentary on the frivolity and more sinister undertones of the era and of the English nobility. I really liked that.

Not to mention the faerie of it all. That's always so fun and strange. I'm glad it went the more folkloric, Cruel Prince-ish route with the faerie folk, rather than the popular but wholly inaccurate sexy fae.

I loved the main character so much, and

I'm so glad she didn't have to get "fixed" in the end to be loved.

The romance was so lovely and the witty banter was A+++. I'll be honest, I was expecting some spice (I thought I'd heard that it is spicy), so I was a little sad when there was NONE lol, but the book didn't need it and neither did I. :)

I loved the start, I was absolutely sure this would be a 5 stars read but sadly I didn’t enjoy the ending as much as I would’ve liked; still I would recommend this book.
