PROGRESSIVELY ENCHANTING.

I do admit to this getting off to a bit of a slow start. But, gratefully, I super enjoyed this by the end.
I loved the combination of genres here! I loooove fantasy books and I loooove regency books. Why aren’t they put together more often?! I need more of this ASAP. The plot was unique to me and I loved the half a soul concept.
Dora was a great character and I loved her relationship with her cousin. Even knowing that she was missing part of herself that didn’t stop her from taking care of things that needed to be done and even falling in love. Her perseverance was inspiring.
The romance turned out to be so sweet!! Elias and Dora started from reluctant acquaintances to teammates saving children for the faeries. The ballroom scene was one of my favorites and I’m glad they had some good swoony moments too.
It turned out to be a much faster read than I thought and I did like the balance of action vs. quiet that worked well for the setting. I adored this combination and look forward to more books by this author!
Overall audience notes:
- Historical + Fantasy Romance
- Language: some strong
- Romance: kisses
- Violence: medium
- Trigger/Content Warnings: kidnapping of children, brief war themes
