Helpful Score: 4

This is one of the best books I have ever read! I was totally enthralled from the first page and when the PBS member wouldn't respond to my interest in ordering book two, I canceled the order and am rushing to go BUY it for full price at the store(as soon as it opens!). I NEVER buy books full price. Well, it's That good, and I just couldn't wait.
It is rich with detail and full of character development. You instantly fall in love with Rain and sweet Ellie. Even though I am only getting a glimpse in this first book, I loved the culture of the Fey, and I think there was a healthy balance of suspense, mystery and the tension in their romance. It isn't hard to follow with Wilson's concepts and is pretty 'basic' in it's adventure(meaning typical fantasy plots with magic, enemies and war, orphans with mysterious backgrounds), but the dialogue between characters is rich and mature and intelligent and not at all simple. I simply just devoured it! It has jumped to my favorite books of all time, and once I read the others, probably my most favorite series! I LOVE PBS for helping me discover new authors and new worlds! This one is a diamond in the ruff, a gem for sure!
