 This was, well, 'okay'. Probably 2.5 stars? If the relationship with Ash had been better developed I would have put it at a 3, but the story made no effort to put anything between them except basic attraction. I don't mind stories that do that and at least this one didn't end with them swearing to love each other eternally... but I dunno. I just didn't feel it and I wanted to. I will probably pick up the next book at some point, because I'm anticipating the development, at least. 
 I also liked some of the Tour Through Faerie parts but not others. I wanted more of Meghan being clever like she was with the goblins. 
 And yeah, there were numerous places where the story seemed to go a direction purely because the plot outline said so. Some of them I didn't notice until after, so kudos there.
