It wasn't earth-shattering but I liked it. 
 I would have liked the heroine, Meghan, I little more if she had at least sometimes stopped to listen to what others were telling her instead of rushing head-on into bad decisions. 
 It was a little difficult to read sometimes because there were way too many creatures in faery and I often got lost. Maybe it's because I didn't grow up with English fairy tales, so without proper descriptions I just couldn't imagine the myriad of creatures properly. I'd have liked it better if there had been less creatures and creature-defeating adventures, and more characterizations. 
 Possible spoilers ahead: ******************I was seriously considering giving up until about half-way into the book Ash appeared as a character and not just a shadow. Yes, I am *that* shallow, the romance suddenly made the book twice as interesting as it was for me. Meghan fell in love wih him at first sight, that much was pretty obvious. That he had feelings for her which he was trying to hide was pretty obvious too, but his transformation from the bad guy into the eternal lover was a bit too rushed for me. **********************************End of spoilers. 
 It looks like I'm only complaining about this book but I did enjoy it and I'm going to read the rest of the books in the series as well.
