"I did not come here only to dance. I came here only to dance with you. It is quite a different thing."

Oh, this book had me kicking my feet! Elias is so surly and simultaneously charming I couldn't help but love him as an MMC. Dora is so witty and brave despite being "emotionless". I love how little she cares for the whims of men and society in general.

Mostly, what I love about this book is that these are real faeries. Like William Shakespeare faeries. "Don't give them your name" kind of faeries. They're evil and wicked and so, so not human. 

I ate this book up so fast that I just knew I was going to read the whole series immediately after finishing.
