Breeze Spells and Bridegrooms
By Sarah Wallace and S.O. Callahan
5/5⭐️
This book features two protagonists, Roger (30) a human, and Wyndham (29) a fae. When they are 12, every child is tested on magical ability and given a score which determines their marriage prospects and whether they inherit from their parents over their siblings. Roger has a solution to this, and the Council partner him with a fae, Wyndham. They are shocked as they hate each other, but after a paper publishes an announcement that the two are engaged, they start to fall in love.
Roger was a hardworking character who loves having a challenge to set his mind to. He was awkward, anxious, dependable, caring, and altogether just so lovable as a protagonist. He was also a plus-sized character, and I hope that plus-sized folks found him to be good representation.
Wyndham was hardworking too, sarcastic and curious. He had a strong fashion sense, and I loved how he kept urging Roger to change his wardrobe. He quickly lost energy in social situations, and I loved how Roger so quickly became supportive and noticed when he needed a break. (The authors have confirmed that Wyn has social anxiety disorder.)
The slow-burn romance between the pair was incredibly adorable, and I was beyond delighted to find no dreaded third-act breakup.
In the world of the book, fae had magic inside them while humans used sigils drawn on spell-paper. Roger and Wyn experimented with many aspects of the magic together, and I found those scenes very gripping.
Possibly my favourite thing about this book was the Queernormative society, where people of all sexualities and genders were accepted.
This was a historical fiction book, set in 1800s England.
So I guess you could say I liked this book.... I LOVED IT! Highly recommend it, can't wait to see what Wallace and Callahan write next!
