'Netherford Hall' is a cute, entertaining story, following various POVs and diverse cast. The plot takes a bit of time to settle, as does the romance, once the initial attraction is passed. Nonetheless, the overall story is a nice read, with a good saphic romance, found family all around, and interesting world building choices, the story taking place in an alternate england, where Witches hold quite a big part of power, and where werewoves and vampires coexist with human.
The magic side of the plot had an interesting turn, with the house and what it's been hiding, helping the reader to discover the magical world bit by bit.

There were a few times where I thought it lacked transition between scenes, or lacked a bit of smoothness, and I can't say I was really involved with the characters, but I think it has partly to do with my mood as I read it, and me having just read another story in which I was deeply invested. Still, I wanted to finish and read the whole book here, so it's a win!

This book will appeal to fans of Pride and Prejudice, lovers of Freya Marske"s series 'The last binding", and maybe to KJ Charles lovers! We can't get enough queer historical fantasy!

4.5⭐️ Have you ever read or watched pride and prejudice and thought to yourself this would be so much better if it was set in a fantasy world with witches, vampire and fae? If you have then you will love this book!! Yes this book gives off major pride and prejudice vibes but it’s definitely its own story. Netherford Hall is a story about finding your way when you don’t know where you fit, and features diverse characters, a sapphic romance, and found family. I absolutely adored this book and the reason I didn’t give it 5 stars is because the POV would change in the middle of a chapter (which is a pet peeve of mine) and also the chapters were kinda long. But I highly recommend Netherford Hall to anyone who loves pride and prejudice or just loves queer fantasy books. 😊🥰

Thank you to Netgalley for allowing me to read a ARC copy of this book.
