Half a Soul (Regency Faerie Tales, 1)
von Olivia Atwater
“Whimsical, witty, and brimming over with charm” (India Holton), Olivia Atwater’s delightful debut will transport you to a magical version of Regency England, where the only thing more meddlesome than a fairy is a marriage-minded mother!It’s difficult to find a husband in Regency England when you’re a young lady with only half a soul.Ever since she was cursed by a faerie, Theodora Ettings has had no sense of fear or embarrassment—an unfortunate condition that leaves her prone to accidental scandal. Dora hopes to be a quiet, sensible wallflower during the London Season—but when Elias Wilder, the handsome, peculiar, and utterly ill-mannered Lord Sorcier, discovers her condition, she is instead drawn into strange and dangerous faerie affairs. If her reputation can survive both her curse and her sudden connection with the least-liked man in all high society, then she and her family may yet reclaim their normal place in the world. But the longer Dora spends with Elias, the more she begins to suspect that one may indeed fall in love even with only half a soul.“Whimsical but never frivolous, sweet but not sugary. I loved it.” —Alix E. Harrow, author of The Once and Future WitchesRegency Faerie TalesHalf a SoulTen Thousand StitchesLongshadow

This has been such a wonderful and thrilling tale. It's been a while since I have read a fantasy novel. Theodora's soul has been split in half by a fae when she was a child. Therefore she reacts and feels quite different than the rest of society. "She had little effort to spare for making unpleasant men more comfortable." While trying to become whole again and avoiding her marriage minded aunt, Theodora becomes part of something bigger and also finds out that she can indeed feel emotions. Her journey is about finding out who she is even though a great part of her is missing. Despite her inability to feel deep emotions (at least she thinks so) she does find love. Theodora shows us that despite being different we can still love deeply with all we have to give - even with just half a soul.
