About this listen
It's difficult to find a husband in Regency England when you're a young lady with only half a soul.
Ever since a faerie cursed her, Theodora Ettings has had no sense of fear, embarrassment or even happiness - a condition which makes her sadly prone to accidental scandal. Dora's only goal for the London Season this year is to stay quiet and avoid upsetting her cousin's chances at a husband. But when the Lord Sorcier of England learns of her condition, she finds herself drawn ever more deeply into the tumultuous concerns of magicians and faeries.
Bridgerton meets Howl's Moving Castle in this enchanting historical fantasy romance, where the only thing more meddlesome than faeries is a marriage-minded mother.
This audiobook includes a bonus short story.

"A hugely enjoyable take on the Regency.... I wolfed this down with great pleasure." (KJ Charles)
"I've read these books more times than I can count. Atwater's stubborn, quietly radical characters defy the expectations of both society and fairy tales as they blaze new paths towards love and decency. Smart and subversive, these charming romances will ignite your heart - and your hope." (Shelley Parker-Chan, author of She Who Became the Sun)
"Whimsical, witty, and brimming over with charm.... Dora and the Lord Sorcier have a place amongst my favourite fantasy romance couples ever." (India Holton, author of The Wisteria Society of Lady Scoundrels)

loved it
when I picked this one I wasn't entirely sure whether it would be any good or not, but I ended up really loving it. kind of austen-ish with some magic thrown in. surprisingly romantic & very addictive to listen to.

Loved it
Haven't read anything from this author as yet, so I went in without much expectations.
I loved the tale, and was hooked from the beginning. I also found the dialogue humorous, and loved the dynamics between the characters. The narrator was fantastic, and did the book justice. I'm looking forward to listening to the second book.
I would highly recommend this book if you're sceptical. It kept me entertained throughout.

Delightfully surprised!!
I was delightfully surprised with this book! I've seen it recommended around, but I was a bit dubious as I'm not really a "period piece" type person. But put it in a magical setting and turns out I love it! 😂
The banter was great (something that usually drives me nuts in Austin-like books), and I love the characters! It occurred to me that Dora's "condition" could be an allegory for the autism spectrum - with her not being able to express herself or her emotions to a certain extent? Just a thought.
Overall, I really enjoyed this book!!

Lovely story with great narration.
I loved the premise of this story, a really great set up in the first chapter. The character of Elias is brilliant.
