Companion Book Reviews: The Contrary Tale of the Butterfly Girl & The Singular and Extraordinary Tale of Mirror and Goliath by Ishbelle Bee

Written for adults, Ishbelle Bee creates her Victorian fantasy wielding a deadly sword in one hand and enchanted pen in the other. Be warned. Danger and enchantment go hand in hand here, so tread carefully.

Unfortunately though, I did not connect well with the heroine nor the romance as much as I had hoped to.
