I usually don't read a lot of historical fiction, but I might after this book! I really enjoyed the whole vibe, it really makes you want to snuggle up under a thick blanket with a cup of tea. I found the characters very lovable (especially Rufus!) and I loved how the author intertwined magic with the history of Tudor England.
