I posted mid-book & it’s late, so I will say: ending did not disappoint! Enjoyed this a lot, will definitely seek out other books by this author.

The main thing I want to say is that I listened to the audiobook, by Recorded Books, and it was Great. Really polished and that voice actor seems to really know their stuff.

I am a sucker for light comedy of manners/Wodehousey kind of banter, so the diversions into this were welcome for me. If you aren’t a fan of polite and not very substantial regency back-and-forth then I can see those bits dragging a bit.

Spoilers below: . . . . . . . The romance conclusion was very sweet. I do love Prunella throughout this book and how she’s neither ‘not like the other girls’-d or made normal - she stays ambitious and confident and expresses emotions Prunella-ly.

The sacrifice of her familiar was shocking! I am interested by the spending of fairy life for human life, not callously but definitely with a ‘it was worth it’ kind of attitude, and I guess the assumption that her familiars still… have a non-messed-up relationship with her? I would like to see this engaged with more but I reckon it probably won’t be, which is alright.
