Resumen del Editor

In a Regency England where magic and faeries are real...

Fitzwilliam Darcy is a powerful magician who controls fire, water, and wind. What he cannot control is his growing feelings for Miss Elizabeth Bennet.

Elizabeth's sentiments towards Darcy are quite different. She detests his arrogance, and she fears he will expose her use of forbidden magic - forbidden to women, that is. He is the last man in the world she would choose to help her on a difficult and dangerous task.

But when a magical war looms between the land of Faerie and their world, a Lord of Faerie demands that Darcy and Elizabeth serve together as his emissaries to make peace with the other mortals. That mission throws them into the middle of a chaotic power struggle between magicians whose power dwarfs their own, and everything Elizabeth has ever believed about her family, her friends, and her enemies will be called into question.

Good "read".

Enjoyable variation of the original. A sequel would be a welcome addition to the authors works.

Love this book

I can’t tell you how many times I’ve listened to this book! Every time I notice something new, because there is so much detail poured into “Faire”.
I love the strong women, especially Anne de Berg’s character. The Fae people create a interesting element and keep the story moving. Also, gotta love Darcy & his angst!

Magically Enchanting

Simply marvelous! Mrs Reynolds' lyrical writing is kept me transfixed until the very last sentence. I truly loved it and hope there is a continuation to this storyline in more books.

This book can be classified as a few things, romance, historical fiction and fantasy. It can also be classified as JAFF. This would not be considered a re-telling perse. This story is more of a loose re-imagined interpretation of Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice mixed with some of William Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream.

As always Ms Elizabeth Klett is awe inspiring in her performance. She gives each character something that makes the work so compelling.

Magical JAFF

Lizzy has refused Darcy, and he anxious to win her heart, but a lot of other things are happening in this story.

The Fae relationships to characters we know, and new ones we meet, are a little confusing at first, so pay attention as that world starts to take hold in the story.

It is well written, not as overtly sexual as many of Ms. Reynolds books, but possibly still not appropriate for young readers. There is a lot of discussion of “adulterous past relationships”.

Ms. Klett does a wonderful job of voicing all characters, human, Fae and animals.

loved it!

way different than all JAFF but it was wonderful to listen to, I wish there was a second book to it, ofc Elizabeth Klett did an amazing job reading, I'd recommend this book to everyone unless they absolutely hate magical type stories, the only thing I hated about this story is sadly it ended.

Mostly fun and diverting

I enjoy the many, many P&P variations in all their various manifestations and incarnations, and this is certainly one of the most unusual. Sometimes charmingly whimsical, occasionally eye-rollingly silly, the story’s fantasy theme is a fun listen. Lizzy and Darcy are true to their characters, but everyone else (Mr and Mrs Bennett, Mr. Collins, Wickham, etc, etc) were full of surprises.

Very cute fantasy story based on P&P characters

The story is strong enough to stand alone. It is only vaguely based on the P&P plot. But still a fun read and very well constructed story!

Darcy and Elizabeth have magic

This is one of the few P&P variations in which I wanted to know more about the supporting characters than Darcy and Elizabeth. I would have loved to hear more about Anne and Elizabeth’s half-brother, the new King of Faerie, and the different fay beings. Darcy and Elizabeth went through the same turmoil and angst in relation to love their love story; however, in the end had they not gotten together in order to save the world from evil sorcery, it would have made sense. Great story. The only negative thing I have to say is that I did at times get confused with the audio because sometimes I couldn’t tell if the characters were speaking aloud or in their heads, otherwise the narrator did quite well distinguishing the characters.

pulls you in immediately to this enchanting world.

You will not want stop listening until you've heard it all. Just fantastic and wonderous.

Wonderful world building and unbelievable plot!!!

Every time I thought the plot might be winding down, new things kept turning up. Some things were predictable, but most of the time there was so much happening unexpectedly that you just have to keep listening to find out what's coming!
