Confounding Oaths is the enchanting sequel to Mortal Follies. Mr. Caesar is set on helping his younger sister find a match, though things soon spiral rapidly out of control. Luckily for him, he meets the sensible and dashing Captain James. As the two work together to free his sister from a fae bargain gone wrong, sparks fly between them. Do they have a future beyond the end of the season? 

Alexis Hall is incredibly witty and every sentence is packed with humor. Hall is an excellent storyteller and creates a compelling romance between Captain James and Mr. Caesar. I loved the interpretation of fairy magic (and sinister gods) in Regency-era queer romance. The characters have great banter and there is never a dull moment. The narrator is also extremely witty and I can only hope he’s nowhere near close to fulfilling his duties to Oberon. 

Readers who enjoy queer romance, fairy magic with a twist, and witty dialogue should check out Confounding Oaths. I can’t wait to read what Alexis Hall writes next! 

Thank you to Alexis Hall, Del Rey, and Netgalley for a free ARC in exchange for an honest review.
