I LOVE the premise of this book. Regency England but magical! Women are forbidden from marriage to use their magic. Beatrice aims to avoid that fate as her heart is with magic and learning how to become a mage.
Where this book lost stars for me was it seemed to just drag on. The FMC was largely unlikable until closer to the end of the book. It felt like she was just "woe is me" for the majority of the book and not doing enough to actually change her fate until closer to the end. Overall it was a decent read and something I probably wouldn't have picked up on my own had it not been recommended to me.
