panIt was a slog. The author was trying to fit way too much modern messaging that the story felt disjointed and not the fun adventure I was hoping for. The parts that were fun were short lived and I needed more of them. If this was a modern woman dropped into the time period (a la Outlander) this could have been really fun. There was nothing wrong with the messages themselves, but the execution really bogged down the momentum of the story-2.5 stars.
pickThis was an amazing read. It had so much adventure and heart in it. It completely took me by surprise. The ending completely blew me away. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

bailedDNF 37%. I tried but it just drags. And I LOVE birds! 😭 I even switched to try audio which helped a little. The world made zero sense. It‘s an alternative 1890, women can be professors at Oxford and have helicopter parasols, but still need a male escort in public and a permit to wear pants. It became too painful to continue.
Because the future that lay before her would indeed be one of unity and peace, starting here, with those she loved. Anything they built on this foundation could only be good and true and right.
It could only be the stuff of dreams.

pickMy husband and I finished this one over the weekend. It took longer than usual because we took turns reading it to each other, but it was worth the wait. Another excellent book about Emily and Wendell! The plots in this series continue to get more and more complex. I‘d say this was three times more complex as the first one. So much happens in this one. I will definitely have to reread someday. Highly recommended!
pickThis was a fun read. It was an interesting take on what happened after happily ever after. Overall I enjoyed reading about Sleeping Beauty. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

One of my more recent favorite series, each book delightful in its own way. I need more queer historical fantasy like this in my life ✨
