The Golden Age of Magic by Luanne G. Smith
3.5

ALC review ❤️

I think the narrator of this book did a good job! The way she read the FMC fit her energy just right. I was, however, thrown off by the lack of at least a mild European accent since the FMC is from there and that's where it starts. That said, I think it would've been worse to have bad accents rather than none. Overall, pretty good performance from the narrator. 

It took a while for me to get into this book. The main character gives off Elle Woods energy, but definitely more naive. 
The mystery aspect of the book was fun. It made me go "I knew it!" When it was revealed, so I did eventually get into the book. 
This book is definitely a light-hearted, cozy mystery read with magical realism and a questionable group of Fées Gardiennes. If you're looking for something that's comfortable and without a lot of subplot complexities or explorations, then this is a good fit!
