By adding fantasy elements Moreno-Garcia has freed the novel from any restraints you would have from history intervening. This is considered a common trait to have, and it is not helped when Nina takes a shine to Hector, a leading performer of the telekinesis arts. One final spanner in the works … Hector has spent a decade pining for Valerie and plans to win her back.īeautiful Ones has all the manners of a Regency Romance, but with added magic. Her skills are required as not only does Nina have a lot of country about her, but she also has the Talent to move objects with her mind. To chaperone her is Cousin Valerie, one of the Beautiful Ones who knows all the rules for society life. Nina has travelled to the city Loisail for her first Spring season, and it is expected that she will meet a man. Have you ever wanted to read something like Bridgerton, but with characters who can move objects with minds? The Beautiful Ones by Silvia Moreno-Garcia has the lightest of fantasy touches and uses the genre as a way of adding magical realism to a version of our own past. Fantasy does not have to be one set thing and as the years progress, I find fantasy books that have moved away from just being magical creatures going out on a quest far more interesting.
