Summary

Above

The year is 1590. The city of London flourishes, the most brilliant jewel in the crown of Elizabeth I, Gloriana, the Virgin Queen.

Below

The Onyx Court is London’s faerie shadow. Ruled by Invidiana, its heartless queen, it reflects and distorts the glory of the mortal court.

Between

Years ago, Elizabeth forged a pact with her faerie counterpart to secure both of their thrones. Now that alliance is in danger. Michael Deven, a rising star in Elizabeth’s court, seeks the “hidden player” who has influenced mortal politics for so long. Lady Lune, a faerie out of favor, must infiltrate the mortal world to protect her vicious queen. Together this pair will uncover the secret of Invidiana’s power - a secret that has the potential to shatter both realms.

Disappointed - narration is monotone

I usually love this writer. I also love the period this is written about. Concept sounds great. But although the narrators voices are ok they just make this book such hard work to listen to and not drift off thinking about other things. They are very dead pan. Maybe this a book I would be better off reading but 5 hours in & nothing is happening and in all honestly I’m bored to tears (and I’m fine with a slow burn book but this is beyond that)Shame promised so much :-(

Goes nowhere

This had a really intriguing premise but in the end didn’t deliver. The concept of Queen Elizabeth and a fairy counterpart could have been great but there was nothing between them and the power balance was shot from the start. The human male started interestingly but then just traipsed round after the woman fairy. Also there was absolutely no reason to have two narrators.
