Steph’s comments from the SOS: Serious Overload of Series group.

Hi, Secret Santa Crew! 🎄 Almost exchange time. Make sure your wishlists link to Blackwells and you’ve provided at least 3 options for your Secret Santa. Elfster’s elves will send out name draw emails tomorrow, 1 Dec, so keep an eye out for an email from them. If you have any questions or issues, please let me know and I’ll do what I can to help.

I’ve enjoyed all of her books, too. Sad to see this one end. She’s got another spinoff coming next year: Veiled Justice

👍🏼😊 thx, Carmen

Welcome, Monica 😊

This round has only been active for a few weeks and already so many more books on my TBR pile hahaha. Love it!"

Just imagine if it was a full 5x5 round, your list would be busting 😆

I need to check out that series 😊

New shelf’s up, y’all — creeping closer to a winning shelf announcement, but not this week.

Shelf #5 ~ 29 Nov: M - "Moon" or magic

I think I’m gonna read (moon on cover)

Hope y’all have a good weekend!

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!
