Love the characters, love the setting, love the differences between the mortal world and Underhill. I love Elizabeth, obviously, so this was a no-brainer. I love that the authors weave fae with mortal history and put Elizabeth's story in the context of fae power struggles. 
My one qualm was the age difference between the love interests. That was disconcerting, and I get that a potential romance did occur at that time, so it makes sense, but it's always weird to have such a severe age difference, renaissance England or not.
