After the conclusion of "Fair Game" (an Alpha & Omega novel), I expected more to come out of the declaration from the Fae in this book. Sure, the human hate groups became more prominent, but this installment's conflict revolved around magical groups. With an announcement of such a large magnitude, I expected more of a national influence into the story (one may argue that since it was a government agency behind the kidnapping, my statement is unfounded; I can argue, though, that really it was a magical group behind the attack using the agency as a puppet). The overall story didn't deal much with the Fae announcement, only used it to present some plot obstacles. Perhaps addressing the larger political issue is the job of the Alpha & Omega series since it focuses on Charles/Anna (and thus also the Marrok), but I was hoping to get a little more out of this installment in regard to that. Like I said, it's probably unfair, but I can't seem to change my mind.
