This was delightful! Great writing, cozy magical realism setting, lovable characters, and a slow burn. I ate this up!

Necesitaba algo “cozy” y probé este libro que estaba en mi wishlist desde hace tiempo: acierto 100%.
Me ha encantado la novela, la historia y todos los diálogos tan divertidos, cómo el drama está ahí, pero parece filtrado por la “media alma” de Dora. Los personajes me han enamorado, menos las odiosas señoras de clase alta que son unas arpías… La trama me ha parecido bastante equilibrada y aunque hay cositas que tras pensarlo creo que deberían parecerme precipitadas, no consigo que me lo parezcan. Sinceramente una elección de 5 estrellas para este momento y relectura asegurada.

📝 Quick Thoughts:
I had a great time with this book. I laughed and enjoyed the mystery element as well as the magical element in the back drop of Regency England. I did not want to put this down!

💭 What I Loved:
– I enjoyed the banter between the two characters. I thought it was clever and funny because the FMC is without part of her soul so it fits with the grumpiness of the MMC.
– I enjoyed the fact that the love interest for the FMC was happy with who she was and not unhappy when there was a twist.

🤔 What Didn’t Work for Me:
– Even though I enjoyed the banter, I felt the plot fell a little flat for me. I was interested but not super hooked. I just wanted to see the interactions between the FMC and the MMC.

📚 Read if you like:
Historical Romance, Bridgerton, cozy fantasy.

🔖 Would I Recommend It?
yes, I would recommend this to someone who likes the brigerton back drop but wants some magic mixed in.
