Welcome to Litsy!

I think my interest in/enjoyment of this second book was colored by both how demanding real life is right now & how much I absolutely loved the first one.
Seeing Lord Blackthorn again was fun as he was such a memorable side character from the first book, and I liked the upstairs/downstairs aspects and learning about more details of faerie.
So I liked it, just not as much as book 1.

This is the second Regency Faerie Tale by Olivia Atwater. This tells the story of Effie, a maid for a rather unpleasant family. One day she falls into Faerie and meets Lord Blackthorn. They make a deal to help her find love and a better life. This was very cute but at times frustrating. This is a very fun original fairy tale story with slight Pygmalion vibes. ⬇️

A nice Cinderella-esque story. Great to see more of the world that started in Half a Soul. All the characters were great.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

After loving “Half a Soul”, I immediately ordered “Ten Thousand Stitches” but sadly found that it did not live up to the previous book. It was a cute story and I enjoyed the characters, however I kind of wanted more from the romance and I missed the witty humor that was in “Half a Soul”.

Come for the himbo fairy godfather, stay for the maid who learns how precious anger at injustice is. Also one of the best answers to try love's kiss I have seen.
Really enjoyed this. For #RippedBodiceBingo can be used for mistaken identity, superpower, title has a number in it, and/or dance

Regency romance with faeries and a little unionizing!

Wow! So this just happened!😄 Took me 5 years to reach 5000, less than a year to reach 10k. I don't know even what it means, but I goal oriented so it makes me happy.😊

I am absolutely enchanted with this series so far! These are not bodice rippers, but stories of magic & love that couldn't be more perfect if they started out w/ "Once upon a time” & ended w/ "And they lived happily ever after.” In this story, a scullery maid named Effie enlists the aid of the faerie, Lord Blackthorn to win over a crush. As well-intentioned as Blackthorn is, he doesn't really think through the consequences of his actions, LOL.
