Spellbound at Pemberley: A Pride and Prejudice Variation by Abigail Reynolds

3.25

I'd read (twice) and enjoyed Mr. Darcy's Enchantment by this author.  This one felt very similar, with the Fey/Fantasy/Magic feel, and a similar start (with Elizabeth hiding her power from Darcy, but helping a young boy). So much so that I wondered if I'd read this one before (and maybe I had started it at some point?) Text included in KU, and I added the audio during an Audible sale. While I liked this fine, it just never really pulled me in or had anything super memorable. I don't think I'll continue on with the series. 

This had chapters (unlabeled) from both Darcy and Elizabeth's POV. 3rd person/past tense. I think audio made it more defined, with two different narrators.  Historical setting, the Napoleonic wars making a definite appearance. Magic and mages, familiars and dragons ... No Wickham. We have Darcy's mother, which just felt odd to me (I don't know that has been an addition in any other recreation I've encountered thus far). Preternatural (not surprising, as this was ...) and anathema (x2), needs must. Too many "fine eyes" (okay, just six times, but it felt excessive and eye-rolling to me).
