Victorian England period drama meets Fae? I’m in! I enjoyed this book so much. Was it perfect? No. But it was certainly enjoyable and entertaining. The “trials” were a bit drab in my opinion, though I think that’s mostly because the trials trope is a little over done. However, I loved the twists and turns the story took and that made up for the lackluster marriage competition. The female relationships were fascinating and I liked that we got to hear from “the six.” I would definitely recommend this and I’m looking forward to the next book in the series.
