It's incredible and the descriptions are outstanding! It's the first faerie book I read and turned me on to the genre. Does this blend a lot of A Midsummer Night's Dream into it? The Iron Fey does, so does Glimmerglass and I've read a snippet of Wondrous Strange -- which has the Shakespeare angle. I like your honesty about some of the characters and the ending. I'm looking forward to reading it.Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10426182171849519693noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4619019089060464771.post-45824186070673466422011-01-10T14:09:36.651-07:002011-01-10T14:09:36.651-07:00@Stephanie: Yeah, I think I was turned off by the ...@Stephanie: Yeah, I think I was turned off by the idea of a fey book at first, just didn't sound like something I would be interested in.

I agree with you completely. He was fake and annoying. I felt really bad for Donia. <br /><br />I didn't love this book, though I did like it, but I usually don't like fairy books as much. I did like The Iron King though, so if you're interested in more fairy books I recommend that one. <br /><br />And that person who tore out those pages? What the hell is wrong with them?!?!!? If I ever own my own library I'm retaining tracking dogs who can hunt down those people and, I don't know, I'll glare at them in a really mean way.
