If you see the previous cover and title of this book, don't let it mislead you, as it is actually the name of one of the books read by a main character in the story... and not even the most interesting one book from which we see snippets.This is a quite wonderful fantasy story that is set 'not in our world.'  The characters are high court elves, low court elves, mixed race and mortals.The laws of the land are not fair to all and the heroine finds out in a very personal way, just how imperfect they can be.  In the course of events, she meets the hero and the results of their paths joining course are truly fascinating.There is bigotry, political nonsense, diverting tales of yore, romance, love, betrayal, insanity, humor and more.The world building is rich, giving you detail, without overloading you with information.  The characters are well-rounded and I could have easily fallen in love with a number of them... and hated a few others.I highly recommend this book and look forward to the next one.
