Thank you NetGalley and St. Martin’s Press for the ARC in exchange for an honest review.
A Fragile Enchantment was well titled because “enchanting” is truly the word that best encapsulates my feelings towards this book. This was my first book by Allison Saft and her writing is nothing short of beautiful. She does such a wonderful job of balancing whimsy and relatability when describing and developing her characters and as a reader, I could not help but fall in love with them. From a King to a commoner they all felt so perfectly imperfect and I found myself rooting for each of them as if they were the main character. I highlighted more lines in this book than almost any other and I am a little sad now to not be able to share them on goodreads since I was not reading the finalized copy. I was a little underwhelmed by the ending but that could have more to do with my love for a good series. I always want more or the characters I love and Niamh and Kit definitely fall in that category. I waffled between 4 and 5 stars but ultimately landed on 5 because of the way this book made me feel. I know I will look back fondly on this one and it will be a story that stays with me. Looking forward to reading more of Saft’s work. ✨
