Book description
June 12th, 2024
Just finished A Fae in Finance on audiobook, and I'm still giggling at how perfectly it captures modern panic meets ancient magic. Miri, our investment banker protagonist, gets snatched into Faerie by a "Princeling" client-her first thought? Does my cat have enough food? And her boss's response? "Confirm internet access is solid." That's it. No rescue mission, just... keep working.
The audiobook's genius is how it makes Miri's voice so real. You hear her panic when she realizes she's stuck in a realm where the "rules" involve talking mushrooms and political backstabbing. The narrator nails her mix of corporate exhaustion and fantasy-fan desperation-like when she's eating cake to cope while desperately Googling "how to escape a fairy court without getting turned into a teacup." It's hilarious, but also so relatable. Who hasn't cried over a work crisis while worrying about their pet?
What I loved most? The way the book treats Faerie not as a pretty backdrop, but as a high-stakes office environment. Miri's not here to save the day; she's trying to do her job while dodging magical lies and her overly involved mother's phone calls. The "deteriorating mental health" bit? Not a trope-it's the very real stress of being a 20-something suddenly stranded in a world where your boss is a fairy prince and your biggest worry is "will my LinkedIn profile still look professional?"
The audiobook's pacing is perfect. You're right there with Miri as she navigates Faerie's political drama, her voice cracking with exhaustion but never losing that sharp, witty edge. The narrator's delivery of lines like "I am a finance person. I can work around anything," while eating a suspiciously enchanted pastry, had me grinning through the whole thing. It's not just a fun fantasy-it's a love letter to anyone who's ever felt trapped in a job they didn't choose, suddenly thrown into chaos.
And the cat? Doctor Kitten gets a whole subplot. You'll laugh when Miri tries to video-call him during a Faerie crisis. It's the tiny, human details that make this world feel lived-in. I've listened to it twice already-once while cooking, once while walking the dog-and I'm already waiting for book two. If you've ever felt like your life was a mix of The Bear and A Midsummer Night's Dream, this audiobook is your new obsession. No magic needed. Just a great story, told with heart and a side of cake.
