Half a Soul by Olivia Atwater
Series: Regency Faerie Tales #1
Qualifier: GR fae shelf (shelved by 398 people)
Shelf #4: F - "Fall" or fae
Read: 23 November
Rating: ✮✮✮½
My Review:
This was my first Regency fantasy romance. I found it to be a very enjoyable read aside from one issue hammered a bit hard.
Likes:
⊕ half-souled Dora is honest to a fault and very witty, most times without meaning to be
⊕ seriously emo, wounded by “life” and war, sorcerer with a big heart
⊕ adorable, budding side romances between very likable side characters
⊕ Bridgerton-ish with the moms working aggressively to pair off their daughters with “appropriate” husbands
⊕ mirror communications
Could’a done without:
⊖ bit too heavy on the wealth inequality and ignorances the wealthy have of things they don’t see (or want to take a closer look at); I fully agreed with the characters’ frustrations in this regard, but it was so much it took me out of the fantasy
I enjoyed it though. These characters got their HEA. Up next is Benedict who is adorable, generous and caring; I look forward to more of his story.
😊👍🏼
👍🏼😊 happy reading, ladies!
