This was such an entertaining historical romance and a great addition to the series. The Mary Poppins vibes were so fun! Mina has the same capable, slightly no-nonsense energy as Mary Poppins, and she’s also warm and protective in a way that made me really like her. She’s competent, kind, and quietly brave, especially when … Continue reading Book Review: The Governess’s Guide to Spells and Managing Misfit Marquesses by Amy Rose Bennett
