Nothing about this book from the outside should appeal to me. I’m not the biggest fan of historical romances, or stories with fairies. But this book is just magic. I loved Dora and how witty she was, and her affectation of not knowing how to respond was hilarious. Elias was dreamy, with his anger at the evils of the world and his slow burn for Dora. There was some ridiculousness (the villain especially so) but this book was just so charming that I don’t even care. And now I have to read the other books in this series!
