This had been on my list for AGES, but I realized I never really knew exactly what the plot was. This is a lovely crossover of faerie and regency, perfect for if you're interested in the ACOTAR/Bridgerton worlds but aren't quite sure about all the more intense parts of those series. It does lean a bit YA, but it's well paced and draws attention to poverty and unfair labor practices that aren't addressed in a lot of regency romances, which I really appreciated.
Graphic: Child abuse
Moderate: Child death, Emotional abuse, and Classism
