So, I began trying to read this book when I was 11 or 12. I immediately put it down because I didn't like the underage drinking and smoking... 
 Later on, I got over it. 
 It was glorious, really. Kaye was just the kind of girl you'd imagine to have the Sight, though in fact she was a faerie. She was isolated, but it didn't affect her as much as it would to most people. Not until she realized she could control the people she hated, anyway. 
 For a short time, she reminded me, personality wise, of Luna Lovegood. You know, if Luna were to smoke, or drink. 
 All in all, it was quite a fun read, and I've gained new respect for Holly Black. Having already read the Mortal Instruments by Cassandra Clare, The Scorpio Races by Maggie Steifvater, and the Iron King by Julie Kagawa, I understood the historical faerie background immediately. Actually, the Kelpie was obviously the more common name for Maggie Steifvater's Capall uisce, the Faeries and their Unseelie and Seelie Courts were definitely similar to Clare's and Kagawa's interpretations, and even our brave night, Roiben, from the Unseelie Court strongly reminded me of Ash of the Unseelie Court in Julie Kagawa's story (Their hair was of opposite color, though, which I found quite amusing.) 
 The only reason I couldn't give it five stars because I was pretty much aware of the plot before I even read through the entire thing. It was definitely worth it, though, even if it related to three other serie. Maybe I also still didn't love the focus of cigarettes and alcohol, but Kaye was a likable character nonetheless.
