This was an ARC provided by the publisher but the review is my own.
Pride and Prejudice is a literary classic that has helped inspire countless writers to create their own unique spin on the story. In Elle White's vision the story is given a touch of dragon fire and fantasy to bring a whole new chapter to Jane Austen's legacy.
Aliza Bentaine lives in a world where magical creatures co exist with humanity, working along side to battle against those dark creatures who seek to extinguish all who stand in their way. After suffering a personal loss due to a gryphon attack, Aliza and her community invest everything they have into the Riders to help destroy the imminent threat facing them but when she meets Alastair Daired, dragonrider, she begins to understand that her greatest battle is against the convictions of a man and society who could never see her as his equal. As the people of Merybourne are thrust into the middle of a final confrontation with pure evil, true valor will not be found on the battlefield but in the hearts of those who must decide what is right and what must be sacrificed.
White's world feels fresh and exciting with mythical creatures such as dragons and wyverns and creatures of nightmare to keep you on the edge of your seat while her homage to Austen is the kernel around which a rich and full fledged story with characters that ring true, even the flawed ones, shines. Of course there is a happy ending but the journey there is full of surprises. A job well done indeed. Find this title available mid January.
