Dance With the Fae is so so good. I couldn't stop reading this book. I rated it 5 stars because I really enjoyed every single second of it.
Dance with the Fae by Elisabeth J. Hobbes, published by Harper Collins UK One More Chapter, is a beautiful piece of art. An historical fiction story that gives all the feels.
Blurb: 1919 May Day
Kit Arton-Price should be celebrating. It's his engagement party and, unlike many young men of his generation, he survived The Great War. Whilst his fiancée, Adelaide, is dancing with one of their guests, the enigmatic Mr Wilde, the scars on Kit's face bear the heavy toll of battle – and the scars on his heart bear a secret he's been forced to carry in silence.
In the morning, Adelaide cannot be woken and the village doctor declares it's the mystifying 'Sleeping Sickness' – an unexplainable epidemic affecting society.
But there is more to this sickness than first appears and it's not long before Kit is lured into a strange new realm. One of magic and danger. The realm of the fae.
A stunningly enchanting, heartwarming and emotional read. Dance with the Fae is unique, I adored Kit, Valentine and Valentin and his heroic efforts to rescue Addie. A five star read.
This is a such a wonderful story full of real history as well as fairytale staples. The whole cast of characters is so unique and well written. I love the world building of Faedemesne in particular as well as Kit’s reaction to it. Kit is such a loyal and protective person and always wants to do what he believe is right, even at a detriment to himself. It’s clear that he doesn’t jive with Addie more than a sisterly bond and has better chemistry with other characters. Great pacing and character development and an enchanting story with great representation. I think I would like Silas more if I saw more of his ‘missing two years’ development. But a wonderful read overall! I voluntarily reviewed this after receiving a free copy.
