This Pride and Prejudice retelling is a cozy fantasy where Elizabeth is a magicless witch and Darcy is a Warlock with good intentions behind an uptight facade. I loved how the Georgiana character has a more robust role in this retelling rather than the meek girl we know. While it is truly a PP retelling, there are Sense and Sensibility glimpses from the way the story is crafted around Elspeth and Draven. The cottage where they are staying is a sentient being that satisfies their needs. Draven falls first, and falls hard. But when she does, hilarity ensues. The writing is fantastic, giving enough detail to make it different from the source.
I absolutely adored the Moonflower Witches series name. And don't get me started on the dragon, Edgar stole the show and now I want one.
If you like PP, and are into fantasy cottage lore with a bit of hot spice, this is your book.
