Mages and Mysteries: A Fantasy Pride and Prejudice Variation by Victoria Kincaid

I loved this fantasy retelling of Pride and Prejudice set in a regency world where magic is an integral part of society. While there are changes to plot and some situations to fit in with the fantasy world, all of the characters are still true to Austen's original. Lizzie Bennet is a powerful mage in a world where women are only supposed to learn small household magic and Fitzwilliam Darcy is a member of the committee that unanimously voted to deny her access to the academy.From there we get to see the familiar development of their romance within this magical world as Lizzie overcomes her Pride and Darcy his Prejudice. Overall this was a 4 star read for me, and one of the better Pride and Prejudice retellings I've read.

An Improbable Season by Rosalyn Eves

I really enjoyed this cute Regency Romance. The story was engaging, and the characters and plot managed to feel modern while also remaining mostly historically accurate. I really hope we get more of Thalia's story, as well.  *I received a review copy from the publisher through Netgalley

Wildwood Magic by Willa Reece

Wildwood Magic was one of my most anticipated reads for this year, and it definitely held up to my expectations. It was just as magical as Wildwood Whispers, and I loved getting a look at the previous generation in Morgan's Gap. As a person who grew up in Southwest VA, I can also say that Willa Reece does an excellent job of capturing small town life and Appalachian culture. As always, I'm hoping there will be more to come.  *I received a review copy from the publisher through Netgalley
