Im really glad this was a #lmpbc book. I enjoyed the magic and setting. Yes there were some plot holes, but this was a character driven good vs evil kind of romp with regency style and colonialism issues at the forefront.

HeatherBlue Love that cover!! 2y
BookwormAHN I agree 😺 2y
TheAromaofBooks Glad you enjoyed it!! I agree, this is definitely a book where you needed to have the right mindset going in. As long as you were in the mood for something fun and frolicky without a lot of depth, this was a fun one 😂 2y
Chrissyreadit @TheAromaofBooks it reminded me a little bit of Sorcery and Cecilia. 2y

I really enjoyed this YA Fantasy. It was cute, had a happy ending and made it under 300 pages. Jessamine meets Finn then love and all hell break loose, of course. The magic system was especially interesting.

wanderinglynn Sounds intriguing! 2y
TheAromaofBooks This definitely ended up being a book where my main complaint was wanting MORE story and detail because I found the concepts so engaging! 2y

So this wasn‘t bad per say, it just wasn‘t very good…

Not a lot of depth and I felt confused as to what they were fighting for a lot of the time. If there was no Eleanor in this book, I would have been miserable reading it.

It was a super quick read. Not going to say too much more. #LMPBC

TheAromaofBooks This was definitely a book that weirdly felt like it should have been longer - some of it felt more like an outline than an actual story! 3y
Laughterhp @TheAromaofBooks I could also tell this book was written in 2014. They just used the word savage a lot which was weird. 3y
Cinfhen Hahaha 2014 = savage 😂 3y

#LMPBC

BookwormAHN Okay, I'll watch for it 😺 3y
TheAromaofBooks Yay!! I think this one definitely falls in the “it's more fun if you don't think about it too hard“ category 😂 but I enjoyed it!! 3y
Nute That‘s cool cover art! 3y

Finished this #LMPBC pick and really enjoyed it! I wish there was a little more depth to this one - some things felt rather abrupt - but it was a fun, easy-reading story with likable characters so I am calling it a win!! @Laughterhp this will be heading your way sometime this week!! @Chrissyreadit @BookwormAHN

Hey fellow #LMPBC members - so I was supposed to read In Other Lands by Sarah Rees Brennan for my pick, but I am just NOT jiving with that book at all!! Would you all be okay if I went with our second-place pick (tagged)? Let me know your thoughts!! @Chrissyreadit @laughterhp @BookwormAHN

Chrissyreadit Definitely ok 💚😘 3y
Laughterhp Yeah, definitely okay! 3y
BookwormAHN Fine with me 😺 3y
TheAromaofBooks @Chrissyreadit @Laughterhp @BookwormAHN - Thanks, friends!! I mostly wanted to make sure no one decided to read this one in the last month 😂 It's also a lot shorter than In Other Lands, which, when I got it, was even longer than GR said it was. This one is a much more manageable 275pgs. 3y

For such a shirt book, it had so much emotion. I loved the storyline and all the magical elements, however it was a bit confusing. I loved the characters and the romance, it was very insta love, however I am happy with that as the book is short so I expected it. I loved the fierce, clever and independent main character, Jessamin. I loved swoon worthy Finn, and even Sir Bird. The pace was so fast and something was always happening. I loved it!

Gorgeous cover and overall a good story. Nothing really ground breaking, but not horrible either.
