I've read Allison Saft's A Fragile Enchantment and quite enjoyed it despite the magic/world building being not as fully fleshed out as I would have liked. And it opened my eyes to the fact that genre blends like this exist!! I am a person who loves everything Jane Austen and also everything fantasy, and would love more suggestions of books that blend both together!

You might like Half a Soul by Olivia Atwater, it has that Regency setting with a light fantasy twist and a very Austen-like tone. Also Sorcery and Cecilia is a fun mix of manners, magic, and letters, which gives it a unique feel. If you’re open to something a bit different, Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell leans more into historical fantasy, though it’s slower and more detailed.
