I am conflicted on this book and on writing this review. The writing is solid. The characters are well developed, imperfect, and interesting to spend time with. The setting is wonderful, a touch of England with a fantastical flare that is fascinating to read, it made me want to visit and linger. The concept is awesome, I love how Warrington created the Aetherials, explored their diversity, their similarity to humankind but also their sometimes marked differences, and the rivalry even amongst them between purists and those who’ve chosen to live on Earth. The idea of a people so connected to a place, a place so deeply a part of them that they ache when they can feel it no longer, cut off from it because of a great evil, was incredibly interesting to me. I even liked what that evil was and the resolution of that primary conflict of the story.

I enjoyed all the bits and pieces of the book, but I did not love the book, and therein lies the conflict for me in writing this review. The plot did little for me. Instead of reaching out of the pages, grasping hold, and yanking me in, I felt more like I’d waded into a slow moving (though warm and comfortable) river and floated slowly along without much to see but an overly blue (though quite lovely) sky.

I think the book might fit better with a reader who more enjoys romance with a hint of fantasy, as opposed to someone looking for fantasy but ok with a bit of romance. If you are looking for a well written interesting fantasy with a central theme of romance you will likely greatly enjoy this book. If you are looking for more fantasy it might not be a great selection for you, unless you just want to experience the very cool Aetherial world Warrington created within these pages.

Elfland Aetherial Tales Freda Warrington 9780765318695 Books Reviews

we gave this book five stars...
dear lovers of faerie lore,
... but we'd like to give it seven stars. In fact, we bestow upon it the the Seven pointed Elfin star. If you took Charlotte Bronte and merged her with Jane Austin and brought her into the present writing in the Magical Realism style of Alive Hoffman about elves in modern Britain, you'd have this wonderful novel. It could be called a "tale of two families" for it tells of the relationships between the Wilders and the Fox family, who are both elven/aetherials, and upper class British citizens. There is romance here, and longing, and a beast that lurks beyond the gate to Elfin, for which reason it has been sealed and closed, creating protests among the Vaethyr, the elves on Earth/Vaeth. We could go on, but instead, simply read this book. No one's ever come closer to understanding the modern Faerie folk.
kyela,
the silver elves
A bit rambling, but also quite charming and engrossing. Overall, a good read.
The first in the trilogy, and quite captivating! I could hardly put it down. There is so much detail, and requires a love for the fanatical. The twists and turns will also keep you on your toes!
The book is great on its own without the description of the love scenes.
It doesn't need to have the love sections in there.
The book is good without them.
It's great to take the reader out of his or her own world.
Keeps the mind engaged easily.
This was a gift. She said she didn't care for it.
Highly original take on the fairy genre. I'm not a Tinkerbell kind of girl. There are dark things in this one. Bad people. Beautiful transformations physically, and personal transformations leading to a scorching love affair. They should have listened to the Green Lady in the tree. The young adults in this book, coming of age and denied their birthright have that to bear as well as the usual teen issues never knowing their worth. Self-absorbed. Unrequited loves. Ice giants. Magical houses with secret groves behind the walls. A madman. Or is he? I HIGHLY recommend this book, even if you're not into fantasy; this one has three feet in the real world and only one claw into the Fae world. But things change....people change....Fae change.
I purchased this book based on the reviews I saw here on . I was not disappointed. I couldn't put the book down. I really enjoyed the main character Rosie and the world created by the author of the Atherials and how it is connected to the Earth. I am excited to hear there are more upcoming books based in this same world.

I don't want to give any spoilers away but experiences of the main character regarding unrequited love and forbidden romance was well written. At times I felt the intensity of emotions that were being experienced by the characters. The plot is creative and there is much more to the story than just romance to keep you entertained. I felt that the character development was strong throughout the book. Characters that did not seem interesting at first would suddenly come to life later on in the story and surprise you.

I also thought the cover art on the book was beautiful. I am a sucker for great cover art.

All in all I say this was an enchanting read and I look forward to reading more of this Atherial world in future publications.
