This is a unique story. Stovall creates a cast of phenomenal characters and creatures. She melds together the modern world and the fantasy world. She borrows parts from others and creates many new creatures and even more new situations. She takes the `known' commodities of the fantasy world and gives them a twist. All the while, this story remains completely and truly fae.In this novel the world of the Sidhe is a unique mix of fantasy and modernity. It's the best of both worlds. Stovall twists and turns with the plot in her story, all the while painting a brilliant picture for her readers to wander through. Not only were Stovall's descriptions extremely vivid (which made this world pop right off of the page), but her storyline was also very solid. Everything progressed towards a given ending, with just enough twists and turns along the way to keep things interesting. I appreciated the fact that light was not necessarily good, nor was dark necessarily evil, but rather that it was the balance and the decisions that an individual made that shifted the tide.The characters in this novel were quite remarkable. Each was individually and fully developed. I appreciated that Stovall spent more time developing the main characters, but that we also got to know the supporting cast as if they were individuals that we'd met in real life. Not only were the individual characters well laid out, but so were the different fae creatures. By the end of the story you knew a great deal about each of the species and races that you encountered along the way. It made for an exciting and informative ride.This is a story about more than just fairie circles. It's a story about magic. It's a story about believing. About believing in more than just what you can see. It's about believing in the world around you. It's about believing in yourself.Please note that I received this novel free of charge from the author in exchange for an honest review
