Reviews"Intriguing fantasy . . . a Shakespearean tangle of love stories."- Booklist , Starred Review "Political intrigue, star-crossed lovers, and the intermingling of two distinct worlds make for an exciting and intricate tale. The many characters and situations are fully realized and spellbound readers will be hoping for a sequel."- School Library Journal "Sharply realized characters abound in both magical and human form. . . . Vivid descriptions and intricate plot twists convey that most traditional element of all faerie stories-the misunderstandings between humans and the Fae despite the best intentions."- Kirkus Reviews "Aurelie is a wonderful introduction to the world of Faerie, one which is consistent with traditional myths-such as sighting ointment and faerie revels-yet keeps the lore from becoming overwhelming by limiting its scope."- KLIATT
