Urban fantasy, folklore, poetry, news clippings, quasi-changeling-myth, gay erotica. What more could you really ask from a novel? 
 This is a story told from many people's perspectives, and while their voices aren't terribly distinct, it still works, possibly because the chapters are so short. The weakest part of the writing was the news clippings, and I'm chalking that up to translation. 
 I never really felt hugely connected to the characters, but it's engrossing all the same. One of the best books I've read in some time.
