A review by taisie22
The Lord of Stariel by A.J. Lancaster
medium-paced
3.5
Upon the death of her father, Hetta returns home to Stariel for the funeral and the choosing of the new Lord. Her entire family is there as well as the staff of the great estate including long-time butler Wyn, Hetta's friend. And there's the good-looking neighbor, Hetta's childhood crush.
This is an interesting take on magic and the Fae and an enjoyable read. It's a bit slow in places; the love triangle was unnecessary in my opinion without a lot of chemistry on anyone's part, and the family dynamics felt a little too Downton Abbey-ish. But the magic in Stariel and the attempted invasion by the Fae bumped this up to 3 1/2 stars rounded up.
