18yo Niamh is invited to the Avalon palace as head seamstress for Prince Kit’s wedding preparations. He’s as haughty and rude as ever and much more than Niamh expected. 19yo Kit is angry at the world but Niamh has no idea why. Sinclair, Kit’s lifelong best friend, is the first and only person that treats Niamh kindly and as a friend instead of some lowly servant. The three of them become friends and help each other break down the personal barriers they’ve put up but political pressure, intrigue and scheming threaten to crush everything they’ve gained. 

A Fragile Enchantment is full of interesting characters. The author approaches self care and mental health graciously. Political intrigue dominates the book and creates a nice mystery. Beautiful descriptions are found throughout the book. Humor is used perfectly. Ethnicity falls to white.
