“Fairyland” was emotionally devastating and so beautifully, caringly put together.

It was really good until about 100 pages from the end, we get a chapter or two or pure exposition and then an incredibly ill paced ending. Such a shame, could've been a fantastic story.

it was so cute i loved it

3.5 ⭐️

I love all that I learned about divorce, divorce strategies, and women detectives in mid-19th century Britain. I also enjoyed that neither the book nor the love interest were misogynistic. It was a breath of fresh air to not have to wade through misogynistic bullshit in a historical romance. However, the meat and potatoes, the writing in this book was weak. I think a couple more rounds of revision could've made this a fantastic read. There were prose issues, dialogue issues, more depth needed to be added to sentence/paragraph structure and the plot had some pacing issues. Overall not a bad book, but I also can't say that it's good, unfortunately.
As I said before, with a little more time in revision, this book could've been really good.
