Straightforward and light and sweet. Not sure if it should be four or five stars but I’d reccomend it!

This was delightful. So precious. Perfectly what I needed right now in a very trying time.

This was such a cute adorable read. I picked it up thinking I was going to get Ella Enchanted, but it’s more regency with a sprinkle of fantasy.

What an utterly delightful read!

I wouldn't really call it cosy fantasy, as there's quite a bit about how the poor people suffer in workhouses, and the fae really aren't friendly.

It's still a comforting read, as the main characters care dearly for others, and I just adored the strong friendships and loyalties between them all. The romance is the cute but straight forward one, so no annoying whining and pining. Oh how I enjoyed characters who just simply say what they mean, without all the drama from misunderstanding stuff, or simply not talking about it at all.

I can't wait to read more by Olivia Atwater, these books are absolutely fantastic, charming and captivating.
