absolutely delightful. marske's worldbuilding and characters pull you in (no goblin's bridle required) and then you never want to leave. i found the magic system, edwin, robin (<3), maud, adelaide and sutton cottage so fascinating and endearing. there's a lot to set up here, but there's balance to the mix of fantasy, mystery and romance. (also, any romance where there's lots of staring at someone's hands has my support.) highly recommend the audio!!
