THIS IS MY NEW FAVORITE BOOK AND I’M GOING TO SHOUT ABOUT IT. No but seriously, this is so wonderfully gorgeous, I’m utterly obsessed with both main characters and the glorious world-building here. Reads like everything you could have ever wanted from a certain Magic Series That Shall Not Be Named and its historical adult spinoff films— but OH so much better. The audio was stunning as well, David Thorpe embodies the two of them particularly so well. My only quibble in the whole thing is that I wish the sequel was about Adelaide Morrissey rather than Maud Blyth. Actually I really wish it was just more Edwin & Robin. I don’t feel done with them.
