Helpful Score: 2

This book was really so realistic I could almost believe it had really happened. The author ties in life and fantasy, desire and debauchery, love and loss and doesnt clean up all the loose ends. I really liked how the book mimicked life, almost the point of painful. How many times do we have to make a choice or choices that bring growth and pain but have to be done? This wasnt a pretty little picture. The characters were real with real issues and I felt myself getting wrapped up in their world, knowing what choices were the right one and yet wondering if they would make them. Life can certainly suck but this book definitely didnt. Ms Hart out did herself here. She managed to capture the mundane and the mythical making me think that perhaps the drama of life isnt in facing the decision but in facing the results of those decisions.

This is a great read for those that want more depth to their fantasy; for those that can't ignore the realities of a situation no matter how pretty the packaging it comes in.
