5.0

To be perfectly honest, I didn’t expect this book to be as good as it was. An excellent achillean fantasy romance perfect for fans of Jane Austen and Harry Potter, this book focuses on Robin and Edwin as they try to solve the mystery of Robin’s predecesor in his role as government liaison to a secret magical world. 

The romance was well done, as was the mystery, and both of the central tensions made this a page turner. The strong world building supported the plot and characters. 

Really liked this book and can’t wait to read the rest of the series.
