I was genuinely excited to read this book as I love a bit of bridgerton style drama. With magic added in, it was sure to be at least enjoyable. I wasn’t prepared though to fall head over heels in love with the book!!
This story genuinely surprised me. I thought it was going to be all focused purely on the lovey dovey, against all odds, slow burn romance set in a era of royalty and balls etc… and it was! But it also had so much depth and intrigue.
The activism and fight against classism, the LGBTQ+ aspects, political match ups and slow burn romance unfolded in such an interesting way that I couldn’t stop reading.
I loved the characters and the setting and even more so the representation.
Being a standalone also gave me a feeling of satisfaction. A must read for me and potentially a re-read as well.

I enjoyed this book!
I really did enjoy reading this book! It was super fun and the world was so magical. I enjoyed Kit and Niamh together I thought their relationship was really sweet (I also loved that they were both queer). The ending just felt really rushed to me, but besides that, it was pretty good.
