I always enjoy a book with magical worldbuilding, especially one that can bring something unique. The actual plot of this book wasn’t particularly mysterious or compelling, but it led you through the characters and magical system easily. I enjoyed the relationship between the two main characters, but I was disappointed by how underdeveloped the side characters felt and some of the ‘leaning in” to the Edwardian period attitudes. Generally fun and easy to read.
