I can see why a lot of people would like this! <3 A sapphic regency romance/fantasy with dark themes and complex characters! Wonderful! My favourite character by far was Lizzie, she seems like a lovely friend for our protagonist <3
Unfortunately, I, personally, don't like reading books with this type of narration style. This isn't to say that the book is bad, not at all, I'm obsessed with the concept and some themes involved (magical curses, regency romance, etc.).
I also didn't read the trigger warnings, which I should have! (I'll be including them below.)

This book was lovely in some parts, I just wasn't the target audience <3

TWS:
- Near Drowning
- Animal Sacrifice/Death
- Transphobia
- Homophobia
- Slavery (Mentioned)
- Sexual Harassment

All in all, if you like sapphic regency romance/fantasy novels told from the perspective of a third-person narrator with dark themes, this a good book for you! Heed the trigger warnings, though! If you're able to withstand those topics, you're all set! <3
