There is a lot I liked about this book... and a lot I didn't. The core story of Calaena is very interesting - her secrets, her past, her relationship with Rowan (yay, a male/female friendship that feels authentic!). I loved the fantasy elements of the world, from the Fae to the Little Folk to the demi-fae (though demi-fae confused me a little). I also loved the settings, especially Queen Maeve's domain. 
 But this book does a lot. Maybe too much, in my opinion. It tells a lot of stories, weaves a lot of plots together, and answers a lot of questions. For me, the endless side stories and characters took away from Caleana's story, and I found myself kind of skipping over pages of information I didn't really care about. 
 So yes, I really enjoyed most of this book. But I felt like I was drowning in all of the details, when all I really wanted was to see Calaena develop as a character.
