Keeper of Enchanted Rooms

This was one of those books that grabbed my interest, and I devoured it in a couple days between full time job, mom duties with two under 4, and house chores. I find myself wondering if the plot might have benefitted from a Part 1 (Silas), Part 2 (Merritt meets Hulda), and Part 3 (narratives collide) instead of interspersing the character narratives based on the timeline. I get why we have the story we have, and I really enjoyed Merritt and Hulda's storyline. I kinda feel like I would have loved it even without the whole Silas horror thread, but then that would have been a different, closer to historical fantasy romcom, story.

I struggled with some of the vocabulary, even being a historical fiction, romance, and fantasy reader by preference. Even Kindle and Google didn't have definitions for some of the words! The writer storyline was cute and relatable. Very interested to see where this goes in the second book.
