I’m OBSESSED with Gracewood and Viola, I would read so many books about them. I was in from the first page - the setup, a trans woman meeting again her friend who believed she died in the war, and who had blamed himself for her fate, was perfect for creating drama, emotion, ALL THE FEELS. This book quite literally made me laugh and cry. I wanted them both to be happy and oh em gee the journey was worth it for where they end up together. I also adored Lady Marleigh, every time she was around I ended up laughing, but she was also a truly great friend to Viola. 
If you like romance novels and/or historical fiction, this one is a must read. 
The narrator is perfect for the feeling of this book, she did a wonderful job of capturing the characters.
