On a Midnight Clear by Lily Morton
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
“A Magical Winter Romance”
On a Midnight Clear, by Lily Morton, is a majestically heartwarming, feel good type of read that has this reader all squishy as a result of being transported to a grand home with great history of nobility in Derbyshire, England. Set as a magically themed holiday romance, this story was a perfect seasonal read.
I thoroughly enjoyed my most recent read as it’s hopeful, humorous and mysterious storyline, with magical creatures and wonderfully dedicated, loving, and intricate characters, brought out all of the feels for this reader. It’s nail-biting moments were emotional and ultimately squeal worthy.
Set on the ancient and sacred land of aristocratic nobility, it’s presence enamored by many, as it’s present owner, Barnaby, does his best to keep the doors open for all. As this honor does not go unseen, Barnaby’s life changes forever….
Oh my, this story was so beautiful with the descriptively tactile world building and the added beauty of art through paintings, natural gardens, and..statues. It’s magical creatures set as either whimsical beauties living on the vast grounds of this family, or on the inside as they are gifted with something so much more than any had ever experienced. Enter..Cosmo.
I loved Barnaby and Cosmo. Barnaby a struggling noble, and Cosmo a magical lover of life and for Barnaby’s happiness. I loved their dedication and sacrifice for the other as each learns how to embrace and love life through fresh and new experiences.
On a Midnight Clear was such a wonderfully heartwarming story with great characters and a gripping twist. I laughed, giggle-snorted, and even ugly-cried. Even though I would have liked more development in a few areas, it was such a magically dreamy and grand story. I really liked it….:)
