A Shadow of a Dream by Isabella Carter

I really enjoyed this fantasy tale, set in an historical, alternate reality of our world. It had a unique take on the fae and magic. I liked the characters and the plot. There were a few minor inconsistencies such as one minor character having three different last names, but overall the writing was good. The romance was reallllly secondary and subtle, so subtle as to almost be none existent, but the story wasn't dependent on it.

I have slightly mixed feelings on this book. On one hand, I loved the characters. Basil stole my heart immediately, and the mysterious "Shadow" slipped in as well. With some fascinating secondary characters, I was hooked. On the other hand, the plot sometimes got away from me and felt a little obscure. So I devoured the book whole, but also felt a little confused at time. A sharper content editor/beta reader would have helped this out, but... Still love the author for her voice. :)

At the beginning, I didn't think I was going to enjoy it as much as I did. Once we got into the mysteries, I totally got into it, lol.
I liked Basil! And Cheshire (which I see what you did there and kudos!). I also liked Elliot and wish there was more of him because what of the favor? I know it said finish but it seemed like there were so many unanswered questions. What of the Shadow King? Who was the number one? So many more... But I did enjoy it! :)
