The Fairy Bargains of Prospect Hill
The Fairy Bargains of Prospect Hill | Rowenna Miller
8 posts | 7 read | 1 reading | 5 to read
In this enchanting historical fantasy about sisterhood and self-discovery, a woman does everything she can to help her sister escape her husband perfect for fans of C. L. Polk, Mary Robinette Kowal, and Marie Brennan. There is no magic on Prospect Hillor anywhere else, for that matter. But just on the other side of the veil is the world of the Fae. Generations ago, the first farmers on Prospect Hill learned to bargain small trades to make their lives a little easiera bit of glass to find something lost, a cup of milk for better layers in the chicken coop. Much of that old wisdom was lost as the riverboats gave way to the rail lines and the farmers took work at mills and factories. Alaine Fairborns family, however, was always superstitious, and she still hums the rhymes to find a lost shoe and to ensure dry weather on her sisters wedding day. When Delphine confides her new husband is not the man she thought he was, Alaine will stop at nothing to help her sister escape him. Small bargains buy them time, but a major one is needed. Yet, the price for true freedom may be more than theyre willing to pay. Praise for The Fairy Bargains of Prospect Hill: "A warm-hearted yet fierce fairy tale around the bonds of sisterhood."?H. G. Parry "Brimming with folk magic and delightfully sinister hidden worlds. Truly enchanting.?Leslye Penelope "A beautifully written tale of feminine power, sisterly devotion, and magic as old as the hills themselves.?Louisa Morgan For more from Rowenna Miller, check out: The Unraveled Kingdom Torn Fray Rule

The premise of this book was great, but I was so bored that I couldn‘t even finish it.

3✨ This was chosen by one of my book club members, so not something I would have picked up. While I like fairy stories, mystical bargaining is not my cup of tea. I do like how it was written, while I mixed up the two sisters as the POVs a few times I enjoyed the characters (except one- if you read it you know). It was on the predictable side so I had a sense of dread the majority of the story. I feel it stood out at the end, I‘m glad I continued.

I‘m finally out of all my time consuming extracurriculars! Luckily, I‘ve still been able to read a lot. For this #marvellousmarch readathon I would like to finish my #NancyDrewBR (a few more chapters) my #HTBC the tagged. I would also like to read my #FoodandLit for March. Plus 4 books I had in February. Since I will be on Spring break on Friday. I‘m really optimistic. 🥰💛

This was “meh” for me. Very predictable. The fun part was the beginning of each chapter that talked about fairy bargains and lore.

I‘m not a huge fantasy reader but I ended up really enjoying this one. An interesting spin on relationships, family traditions, superstitions, and fairy bargains. It was a little longer than it needed to be but the narrator definitely kept me listening through hours of chores, errands, and learning to crochet. Would definitely read this author again! 🌟🌟🌟🌟

I wanted to like this one more than I did. It's got a great premise but the story dragged for me. I did a fair bit of skimming, to be honest. Whilst not the worst fantasy read I've consumed, it's not the best either 🌟🌟🌟 at best.
