Lords and Ladies

by Terry Pratchett (Victor Gollancz, 1992)

audiobook read by Indira Varma (Penguin Audio, 2022)

Over-padded in places but otherwise a merry old romp. Pratchett draws readers in through Nanny Ogg and Granny Weatherwax before crafting a suitably dark take on (cruel, catlike) elves. Ridcully is given some depth. Magrat comes into her own—the book’s highpoint!

Elemental (Shadows of Otherside #1)

by Whitney Hill (Benu Media, 2020)

An elemental spirit posing as human and working as a private investigator must find her way in the devious, dangerous world of North-Carolinian elves, vampires and djinn. Nicely paced and characterised. Marries the best elements of urban fantasy and hardboiled detective fiction.
