I'm very much one of those people who tend to put a book down and never pick it back up again. I have a hard time getting into the world that books establish and I will admit I was slightly hesitant with the first few pages. I persisted and I found myself loving this book! The character interactions are so fun and often very comedic and I quite enjoy the unique narrator choice for this novel. I didn't care for the narrator at first, and found them a bit annoying but they became more pleasant throughout my reading. I do feel like it starts to slow down after the first major obstacle is dealt with about 2/3rds into the way of the book but I nonetheless enjoyed the character interactions and romantic tensions that occurred afterwards.
Would I recommend this book? Yes, yes I would. It's a good read and I found myself finishing it within 4 days. The most notable aspect of the book that I liked was the character interactions and the more 'tense' scenes.

WHIMSICAL SAPPHIC ROMANTASY BOOK
mortal follies follows maelys mitchelmoore who has been cursed. when her dress slowly unravels at a high profile ball, she is rescued by the duke of annadale, miss georgiana landrake. as time progresses, the curse gets more dangerous and her savior becomes the greatest suspect. as miss mitchelmoore and her rag tag group of friends investigate they are sucked into a dangerous world of gods and goddesses, faeries, and many other deadly, magical creatures. time is running out for maelys before the curse will claim her life, and the only person who can help is georgiana. as they spend more time together, maelys finds herself drawn to the grumpy, brooding. suspected murderess.mortal follies was just magical from start to finish. the way alexis hall combined the dangerous mystical world with that of the sweeping, dramatic regency era had me swept up quite easily. i loved the fact that the narrator was themselves a magical, omniscient, trickster with a proclivity for humor. there were some pacing issues that took me out of the story a bit after the 50% mark but i was still quite invested in mae’s story. the sapphic romance between mae and georgiana was beautiful and i just loved the will they won’t they mixed with georgiana’s angsty, i hate myself and i’m not good enough for you personality.over all, this was a fun, magical historical romantasy that i definitely recommend if you are into whimsical fantasy romance books.
