genre: romantic/historical fantasy
Professor Elodie Tarrant is not unhappy with her life. She enjoys the students she teaches at Oxford and she absolutely lives for solving magical disasters throughout the British countyside. What is not working? Her marriage. The one she maybe made on a whim but also the one that's with the dashing yet curmudgeonly Gabriel. Their estrangement is nearly complete except that they both are professors at Oxford in the field of magical geography and so of course they can never really be free from each other. If they even wanted to be. Which of course they DO.
This is another lighthearted and fun romance with witty dialogue and fun world building. I love that Elodie is a super intelligent and educated woman making her way for herself in a man's world - but without sacrificing a unique way of looking at the world. The plot isn't particularly fast-paced, as fantasy plots go, although there does seem to be danger around every turn. I was in this book for the relationship thread and for the use of the word "miffed." I enjoyed it and will continue to read anything else that India Holton writes.
