This book was entertaining if nothing else. The writing was whimsical. It gave the audiobook a dreamy sort of feel. 
 Unfortunately, things happened throughout the book but the plot didn't really have much of a point to it. It was just a string of events. Occasionally there were a few bits of mystery and excitement but the real greatness was in the twisted ending. 
 The characters. Poppy is arrogant, heartless and cruel. Wink wants to live in a real life fairytale. She's almost childlike Midnight is sensitive, lovelorn and lost. There were times I even thought of him as pathetic. He has nothing to him. No backbone. Mixed together they make a story of heroes, flames, magic, love and fear. 
 This book was short and sweet. The magical writing style kept me listening even at times when I began to lose interest. I wish the plot was a bit more defined and the characters were a little more fleshed out but regardless I enjoyed the book. I enjoyed the red headed, barefooted children running amuck and the descriptions of the different scents in the woods. This book made me want to lay back on the soft hay in the loft and to eat fresh strawberries handpicked by moonlight.
