Not bad, but not as easy to get into as with the author's other books that I've read thus far. A couple of the reasons are probably unique to me--> of all the fantasy that I read, faeries are my least favorite. Furthermore, minstrels are the class of characters I dislike the most. So the fact I kept reading this story about all these musically gifted, fae-influenced pretty people is a feat in of itself. 
 The insta-love between the main characters also isn't my thing; but kudos to the author for at least making it bearable and believable despite my knee-jerk dislike of this romantic trope. 
 So, all in all, not bad, and probably very good, if the above characteristics aren't a problem for you.
