Modern fantasy, but without cutting apart fantasy to fit it into the modern world. All the classic things from scary faerie tales, a magnificent plot, and characters to adore. The progression is natural, smooth, believable, and some faeries manage to be decent without being human. The main character is not a changeling, as in most faerie stories (I plead somewhat guilty to writing about changelings(elves, though)). Instead, she is part faerie.
Everything about this book is quite original, while playing off of classic, non-Tolkienian fantasy.
I absolutely adored this book. Absolutely. Highly recommended to any lover of fantasy, or to anyone who wonders about it. Wonderful book.
