![]() ![]() ![]() Aliza Bentaine (Elizabeth Bennett) lives with her parents and three sisters Anjey, Leyda and Mari in Merybourne Manor, a modest home in Hart’s End. If you’ve read Jane Austen’s classic, then you have an idea of what you’re in for-well, at least until the dragons show up. But one thing is certain: I could not stop turning the pages. ![]() The story had two distinct parts for me–the conservative and proper beginning, and the all-out violent battle at the end. It was an unsettling feeling for me, as I knew exactly what was going to happen next in some spots. And yet, I loved it! How can one book evoke such mixed feelings? Even as I was gasping at White’s wonderfully unique world building, I couldn’t get over the fact that her story was literally matching the plot of Pride and Prejudice beat for beat. When I heard this book described as “ Pride and Prejudice with dragons,” my first reaction was “Yes!” But then I thought, “Huh? That sounds…weird?” This was an odd book for me because of the strange mix of elements that don’t quite seem to fit together. The nitty-gritty: An imaginative Pride and Prejudice retelling that will delight readers with its incredible world-building, deft characterizations and thrilling action.
