I'm a bit disappointed that the set up didn't take shape as it should have for a reader who is new to the world. <br /><br />To me, bad-guy dialogue always sound fake. I guess I don't hang out with enough bad-guys. LOL<br /><br />Thanks for your honest take, Alison. If I was more into fairies, I might have given this a try.Missie, The Unread Readerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10548256640926555361noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1798065526948874468.post-33542799729632820962011-06-28T21:29:08.742-05:002011-06-28T21:29:08.742-05:00I couldn't get into this one-- just didn't...I couldn't get into this one-- just didn't grab my attention. But it sounds as though I'm going to have to get it from the library again and stick it out a little longer! I like the idea of Faerie being a known world, though it's too bad about the bad guys' dialogue. (A personal bookish pet peeve there: fake baddies!) <br /><br />Great review. :)Kathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18414324160166322024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1798065526948874468.post-7252597678903244022011-06-28T21:14:04.373-05:002011-06-28T21:14:04.373-05:00Great review.

It sounds like the characters really keep you on your toes when it comes to knowing whether or not you can trust them. Interesting.

I don't read many faerie books, but I'm looking forward to this one. I agree it's nice to get a better sense of the magical world at least from a characters POV who doesn't know exists or knows much about it.Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10426182171849519693noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1798065526948874468.post-71521610104027097682011-06-28T13:02:09.667-05:002011-06-28T13:02:09.667-05:00I'm always intrigued by books about other worl...I'm always intrigued by books about other worlds, like faerie.

I don't exactly know why, but I could not get into the story at all and was unable to connect with the heroine.
