Publisher's summary

In 19-century Angland, magic is reserved for gentlemen while ladies attend to the more practical business of politics. But Cassandra Harwood has never followed the rules....

Four months ago, Cassandra Harwood was the first woman magician in Angland, and she was betrothed to the brilliant, intense love of her life.

Now Cassandra is trapped in a snowbound house party deep in the elven dales, surrounded by bickering gentleman magicians, manipulative lady politicians, her own interfering family members, and, worst of all, her infuriatingly stubborn ex-fiance, who refuses to understand that she's given him up for his own good.

But the greatest danger of all lies outside the manor in the falling snow, where a powerful and malevolent elf-lord lurks...and Cassandra lost all of her own magic four months ago. To save herself, Cassandra will have to discover exactly what inner powers she still possesses - and risk everything to win a new kind of happiness.

Note: This audiobook includes a bonus novella, Spellswept.

Fun magical story

This is actually two stories in one, and both are a lot of fun! If you like Zen Cho’s Sorceror to the Crown or Mary Robinette Kowal’s Glamourist histories, or anything by Gail Carriger, you’ll probably enjoy Stephanie Burgis, too! Can’t wait to read the next in this series!

I tried; should have adored it

Overall, very disappointing, probably because the narrator was really unpleasant. I started and stopped the book a few times before making myself get through it. I just got to the point where I had to finish it. It held such promise, and has some really fine reviews. I tried! I feel I would have enjoyed it more in print.

Interesting read

Overall, I enjoyed the story. Kept me listening and had me rooting for the romance to win. It did feel a little drawn out and repetitive (with phrasing) at times, and I had hoped for some elven romance twist, but in the end it was still a cute book. Would I read it again? Not right away, but maybe in the future. But I am glad I read it once, so would recommend to those who like a cleaner cute romance with a HEA.
