I loved everything about this sweet fairytale romance! The Bridgerton vibes were immaculate. 🤌 I am never not in the mood for a dramatic high society social season with an anonymous gossip columnist. 

The protagonist Niamh is a sweet and compassionate overworked seamstress working towards the comfort and happiness of her family, never thinking of herself. She is selfless and brave and loyal, if a bit clumsy. To watch her growth and slow realization that she deserves happiness herself was such a delight.

The love interest Kit is such a complex and interesting character. His loyalty and love is not easily earned, but once it is, it burns bright and strong. His selflessness rivals even Niamh’s, though he expresses it rather differently. These two truly are meant for each other.

Each side character was so vivid and fascinating with complicated histories and motivations. I especially loved Rosa and Sofia, but I enjoyed Sinclair and Miriam as well.

I would highly recommend this read to anyone looking for a sweet romance in an incredible fantasy world with a beautiful happy ending.
