 So I tried reading this a while back and for some reason couldn't get into it. Probably because I wasn't in a fantasy mood. This was an overall a fantasy filled adventure. I enjoyed the ride, the characters, and the plot. I loved how there were trolls incorporated into the plot. Cecile was a great character, for the most part. She started off as a normal girl and aspiring singer. She wasn't bad-ass which was a change from the overused trope. Tristan was a different situation. There were times where I hated him and then I found him so funny and sarcastic. The plot definitely had more depth to it than it actually seems. I loved the world of trolls and how there were so many layers to it. Also, I love how they all have French names.;) My main issue with this book as the romance. If the romance is minimum, it doesn't really bother me. But the romance was so irritating at times. It was very slow burning, but after they "fell in love", I felt like Tristan's character fell apart. He became like any other male interest. I do wish, though, there were more chapters from his POV, since the dude has too many secrets. Is it just me, but I really hate it when the male lead has too many secrets and still doesn't trust the female lead, or perhaps wants to "protect" her, by leaving her in the dark. Either way, the book had a nice, satisfying cliffhanger. But since I have a problem where I must read the sequel as soon as possible, I will probably read the sequel in a matter of days. :)
