The Fairy Bargains of Prospect Hill by Rowenna Miller is a historical fantasy set at the turn of the century about sisterhood and the fae (3.5/5 stars)

The Fairy Bargains of Prospect Hill by Rowenna Miller is a historical fantasy set at the turn of the century about sisterhood and the fae. I listened to the audiobook, which clocks in at sixteen and a half hours and is narrated by Jesse Vilinsky. Our point of view shifts between our two main characters.

Prospect Hill is located near a thinning of the veil between our world and the world of the Fae. Farmers often bargain for small trades to make life easier. But what happens if more major bargains are needed?

I absolutely love this cover. There are so many details from the book in this illustration and it is super well done. The gold foil is an amazing touch.

The story takes a bit of time to get going, but I got attached to the characters fairly soon. This book is a little over 400 pages, and I think that the beginning could have been tightened up a bit with more editing.

I’ve seen this book compared with H.G. Parry’s The Magician’s Daughter as both are cozy fantasy. I enjoyed Parry’s novel a wee bit more than I did this one, but if you like one of them you should absolutely check out the other.
