it was amazing
bookshelves: 21st-century-fiction, bought-2024, urban-fantasy, magical-realism

This was a delight to read. I read it in just over two days. It was really a modern fairy tale, not urban fantasy. As the fairies felt more old fashioned and less fantastical. But I really liked that. The weaving of the story felt like reading something older transported to the modern world. The language was so rich, which still being readable. It just created such a lovely vision of London, and moving the reality of magic into the every day.
The characters were a nice mixture of mundane and magical. The loss of memory of the main character was done so well. It was a story full of mystery. At the same time it wasn't life changing but it didn't need to be it was just a nice sweet, light story. Well written and very enjoyable. One I would definitely recommend.
