A Fragile Enchantment by Allison Saft is a young adult romantasy with a touch of magic. With an ode to Bridgerton series, there's a wonderful element of a gossip column as well.

Niamh is a tailor who has been commissioned to make wedding clothes of Kit a young prince. To add to the twist, there's underlying tension between the Prince Regent and Kit. There's also a tension brewing among the different provinces. 

I enjoyed the magical aspects of this book, and the diverse side characters of this novel are wonderful. However, I wish that there was more world and character building. Even after finishing the book, I still am not sure of the magic system of Avaland, and I wanted to know more about Kit's perspective. It left me wanting for more. I might be in the smaller section of readers who are neutral about this book.

Thank you, the publisher and Netgalley, for this book.
