Midnight Bargain

[psocoptera]

The Midnight Bargain, C.L. Polk, 2020, standalone unrelated to Witchmark series. I feel like this should have been catnip for me but it wasn't. Het Regency romance with magic, women are locked out of magic because magic and pregnancy don't mix, protag wants magic but needs to marry for her family finances, can a solution be found. Some neat bits in the worldbuilding, but, I don't know. Some of the character beats didn't land for me. Maybe I just wasn't in the mood. Apparently one of the beta readers summed it up as "Pokemon but make it Jane Austen", which is a pretty good pitch.
