Mortal Follies

Bookseller recommendation

“Another title to join the ranks of cozy fantasy books, Mortal Follies is bright, silly, and so tongue-in-cheek it can be ridiculous. Our protagonist Maelys sets out to break a mysterious curse laid upon her, and with the help of her friends falls into a mess of gods, fairies, demons, and romance. Perhaps what is most special about this story is its narrator, whom I promise you would not expect.”

“A fun sapphic romp of mortal follies, meddling magic, and vengeful gods through 1800s England, told through the voice of an onerous fairy tasked with telling the tale of Mrs. Mitchelmore. The narrator's voice and interaction in the story are fun and mischievous and brings levity to the story of Maelys' high society debut amidst a mysterious curse. This is full of misadventures, friendship, love, and magic!”

“What a fun tongue-in-cheek sapphic Regency romance for fans of Bridgerton and Shakespeare! This book has a witty and mirthful fairy narrator who breaks the fourth wall and spins you the tale of this romantic fantasy adventure. I rooted so hard for our blushing ingenue and brooding noblewoman caught in the snares of curses, goddesses, and more. A romp you simply must pick up!”

“Mischievous fae, pitiless gods, dreaded curses, and of course, mortal folly. Miss Mitchelmore's high society life is turned upside down after a certain duke insists she must cry very prettily. Told from the perspective of a fairy spirit with motives of her own; this book takes us on an enchanting journey, with a tender sapphic romance at the center of it all.”

“To survive a mysterious and malicious curse and find the figure behind it, a young noblewoman must encounter mischievous fairies, queer priestesses, ancient deities - and a strangely alluring, potentially 'malign witch' (who may have murdered her own male relations to inherit her dukedom) in this feverishly fun sapphic fantasy wittily and wantonly narrated, of course, by Puck himself. Such fun! ”
