3.0

A fun read of two women falling in love in magical Regency-ish England with Puck from A Midsummer's Night Dream narrating the tale. I don't think that this is one of Hall's better works, and the story does drag at times. There is enough delight to make up for it (the two different climaxes are fun on their own, though I don't know if they quite work as a whole), but the pacing is uneven. I would love to see more stories where Hall's interpretation of Puck is front and center, because they are a delightful narrator.
