4.5

This book had all my favorite things - magic, mystery, and m/m romance, all in Edwardian England. The world building was intricate, the characters vivid, and the romance steamy. Marske's dry humor and piercing turns of phrase were delightful, and the mysterious magical history at the heart of the novel intriguing. I can't wait to learn more about this fascinating world, and see more of Robin and Edwin. Calling it 4.5 because the only thing missing is that x factor that takes it from great to an obsession.
