The Falconer by Elizabeth May
4.0
I liked the plot development, as in a proper series, it only slowly unfolds with time to add more depth and over several books (and this one does that). Characters slowly gain more depth, and the characters develop banter and depth between them.
It felt however a bit like in the present, rather than in 1840; the main character did neither speak, behave nor have the mindset of what we associate with that day and age, given they are part of a traditional aristocratic society. Thus adding the steampunk elements in there, that character building and sharp banter between her and men then started to make much more sense to me (apart from the fae/traumatic experiences ofc).
Currently already reading book 2
