I will never have the same experience with this series as the first time that I read it and had no idea what to expect, but it's still terrifically magical and wonderful. The ending will get me every time, no matter how many times I read it. I found myself laughing so many times at Ash when he swore he would never be friends with Puck again, when it's so clearly obvious that they are best friends. Can't wait to read the next 3 books now that I'm all caught up!! 
 Also, one of the best lines in a series ever from one of the best characters ever: "I am a cat." 
 First read: September 2012

 I almost never, ever cry while reading. It takes a really amazing book to make that happen and this one did. 
 Following Ash through his journey, especially the three tests of humanity was heart wrenching and eye opening to say the least. This book, and series, wins ALL the awards for plot, CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT, and a great great GREAT (did i mention fantastic and flawless, too?) ending that has officially made this series one of my all time favorites. I'll never forget it, mostly because if I did I would kind of feel like I was killing a part of Faery but still, they are some of the most remarkable characters I've ever read about and they will stay with me for a long time. Kagawa's a genius and I'll officially read anything she writes, although I'm not sure anything can beat the love and devotion of Meghan and Ash or the never ending humor and loyalty of Puck. 
 All I can do now is recommend this to anyone who will listen so if you haven't read it PLEASE JUST DO IT. You won't regret it (:
