I loved this book, don't let the four stars fool you. I loved it so much that I wrote a poem for it: 
 Paranormalcy 
 How do I love thee? Paranormalcy 
 From the depth and breadth and height of Lish's tank 
 To the soul of a Faerie that Evie will not thank 
 For the love of Lend who would not harm a flea 
 Unless there is a secret file he must break in to see. 
 I read thee by fire and flickering light 
 Locked in the bathroom in the dead of night. 
 I read thee as children tug at my knee 
 Burning the spaghetti when I reach page two-o-three. 
 I love thee to my peril, Paranormalcy 
 As seas of amber, eternal and deep 
 Found in the immortal gaze of Reth 
 A love so sweet, I whisper it in sleep 
 Thinking of IPCA with my dying breath. 
 You gotta love literature that inspired creativity, right?
