I liked this book, but I was hoping it would grab me more than it did. I actually really liked the concept of Avalon - a small, soveriegn country situated within England and gateway to the land of the Fae. I think there will be lots of teens who will really like this book, so I'm not not recommending it, it just didn't personally grab me. I'll probably take a look at the sequel, and maybe I'll be drawn more into it.
