In this romantic fantasy of manners from New York Times bestselling author Allison Saft, a magical dressmaker commissioned for a royal wedding finds herself embroiled in scandal when a gossip columnist draws attention to her undeniable chemistry with the groom.
Niamh Ó Conchobhair has never let herself long for more. The magic in her blood that lets her stitch emotions and memories into fabric is the same magic that will eventually kill her. Determined to spend the little time she has left guaranteeing a better life for her family, Niamh jumps at the chance to design the wardrobe for a royal wedding in the neighboring kingdom of Avaland.
But Avaland is far from the fairytale that she imagined. While young nobles attend candlelit balls and elegant garden parties, unrest brews amid the working class. The groom himself, Kit Carmine, is prickly, abrasive, and begrudgingly being dragged to the altar as a political pawn. But when Niamh and Kit grow closer, an unlikely friendship blossoms into something more—until an anonymous gossip columnist starts buzzing about their chemistry, promising to leave them alone only if Niamh helps to uncover the royal family’s secrets. The rot at the heart of Avaland runs deep, but exposing it could risk a future she never let herself dream of, and a love she never thought possible.
Transporting listeners to a Regency England-inspired fantasy world, A Fragile Enchantment is a sweeping romance threaded with intrigue, unforgettable characters, and a love story for the ages.

My Review:
Allison can't do no wrong in my eyes when it comes to her novels and characters.
Loved the Bridgeton vibes and mystery to figuring out who was behind the gossip line.
I really loved Niamh's character development towards the end and I definitely took in the life lessons it gave.
(I have now read all of Allison Saft books, just patiently waiting for her new release "A Dark & Drowning Tide"

The world is an obvious facsimile of our own, and I feel like the author just renamed actual places to keep the Historical Accuracy Police at bay in their reviews.
Despite it being a facsimile in a fantasy world, the political disputes of the royals within the story felt too much informed by policies of the here and now; they were the opposite of immersive for me. Some may find this to be the kind of world building they desire, but I find it jarring and distracting when the political discourse feels too modern.
🎧 The audio narrator was enchanting, endearing the FMC to me more with her sweet Irish accent. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ for audio.
Embroidering wonders, but not with fingers unpricked.
