The Witchwood Knot
Victorian Faerie Tales, Book 1
by Olivia Atwater
Genre: Sci-fi and fantasy, General Fiction , Romance
What a fantastic FMC Winnie is, never mind touching deaths whiskers, she'd give them a good tug and give him a lecture at the same time. Is she scared – yes, of course, but it doesn't deter her from what she feels is the right thing to do.
Of course that plunges her deep into danger, in a scary manor, with some weird and not so weird characters, and a vulnerable young charge to look after. When, despite her best efforts, he's stolen away by the faeries she's determined to rescue him and needs all the help she can muster to get in – and out – of that dangerous realm safely
I loved the deceptiveness of this story, of working out who was in danger, who would, could help and what Winnie could do to help those caught up in the trap. Then of course who was and wasn't trustworthy, who were more than they seemed and what on earth poor Winnie could do without bringing others into even more danger. I so enjoy Fae stories where its not all romance and sweetness but where the fae are dark, difficult, dangerous and mortals need to tread very very carefully.
Stars: Four, another fun read, very different to the usual Fae stories.
