Everything in this felt like a shadow of what it could have/should have been. Most characters had generic traits, if they had traits at all. I didn't really feel like Meghan had a personality. And she was the one narrating (Additionally the narration/ prose was problematic. It often showed instead of told. Was unclear. And honestly just kind of blah). On top of that, characters would do things to conveniently fit the plot, making things feel forced, generic, and cliche. The world this lived in was muddled. I am a big fan of the Seelie and Unseelie courts. But what is the justification for Queen Mab being the ruler of the Unseelie other than Shakespeare mentions her too? Kagawa seemed to pull from different mythology willy-nilly without any real reason. I'm all for combining, but this didn't feel like a well thought out place. Additionally, naming it the NeverNever just bothered me because it made me think of Peter Pan, and that's not the association I should have been making. Unfortunately, it was not just the faery world that suffered from these flaws. Even our world explored briefly at the beginning of the book just fell flat. 
 There were no stakes in this book. We just moved on from one thing to another. Things happened to Meghan with absolutely no justification, and there didn't seem to be any real weight behind anything. I wanted to like this. I wanted to like this so badly, because I love the re-imagining of the fae that is so popular right now. But, I think for now I'm going to stick with Melissa Marr and Karen Marie Moning on that front. I may give this series another try. Who knows? After all, I am a sucker for seeing where things go. But there is a LOT that needs fixed here, and by fixed I mean thought out to any extent and developed.
