This was a solid 4.5 stars, but after seeing Atwater's note on Goodreads and all the background information and research they did, it's definitely 5 stars for me. I love cute romance novels, but the fact that it is historically accurate makes it even better.

This is a regency era love story, but add fairies. Miss Theodora Ettings is missing half her soul due to an encounter with a fairy when she was younger. 
This leaves her unable to feel emotions like other people, making her to be considered odd in this time period. (Yes, this is a metaphor for neurodivergence.)

The best part of this is definitely the romance. It was so cute and had my swooning and kicking my feet. Elias and Dora are a perfect match. It's a very Mister Darcy/Elizabeth Bennett type of relationship. Elias isn't great at the start, but he melts for Dora. Their banter was top tier. The characters were also all very sweet, and I'm glad we got to see they get happily ever after.

This had a surprising amount of depth and git, which includes trauma from war, class consciousness, and era-typical workhouses. The plot ended up having some darker moments. 

If you're a fan of faries tales and of Bridgerton, this is the perfect mix of both.
