That said, Regency Romance romance novels which are set during the British Regency of the early 19th century) have long been a very popular sub-genre, and Regency Romance SFF adds another dimension to a beloved subgenre, and creates a fascinating subgenre of its own. While many Indie authors were writing about dark mages, scarred heroes with lots of baggage, and horrific creatures, some were penning books like “Sense and Sensibility”, and gaining a lot of popularity, that would only increase in time. Looking back now, to 2021, when “Scales and Sensibility” was published in 2021, I believe we can say in hindsight that books like this were part of the vanguard for this cozy fantasy movement, and that’s a BIG deal. So-called ‘cozy’, more wholesome, lighter-fare fantasy is definitely in vogue right now in 2023.
Before We Go Blog (where I am one of the judges) is assigned the book, along with the other 9 judging blogs, to help determine which one of 10 books will emerge as the SPFBO 8 Champion. I have provided an honest review of this book – “Scales and Sensibility” by author Stephanie Burgis – below for purposes of the Self-Published Fantasy Blog-Off (SPFBO) Number 8 competition, in which this book is one of ten finalists. Maybe, just maybe, she'll even be impractical enough to win her own true love and a happily ever after.with the unpredictable and dangerous "help" of the magical creature who has adopted her.Ī frothy Regency rom-com full of pet dragons and magical misadventures, Scales and Sensibility is a full-length novel and the first in a new series of standalone romantic comedies. Now Elinor will have to find out just how rash and resourceful she can be when she sets aside all common sense. However, even the most brilliant scholars of 1817 England still haven't ferreted out all the lurking secrets of rediscovered dragonkind.and even the most sensible of heroines can still make a reckless wish or two when she's pushed. And she never dreamed that she would have to enter into an outrageous magical charade to save her younger sisters' futures.
She never expected to fall in love with the shameless - but surprisingly sweet - fortune hunter who came to court Penelope. She certainly never meant to kidnap her awful cousin Penelope's pet dragon. Sensible, practical Elinor Tregarth really did plan to be the model poor relation when she moved into Hathergill Hall.
