As a lover of all things elfin, the second I laid eyes on the cover of this book, I wanted to read it.I found the characters all extremely well created and details were abundant throughout.  This is no small feat as our main character Zyre (she is an elf) travels to different worlds in her attempt to flee from a pending arranged marriage.I liked (a lot) that the author gives a bit of a background regarding characters and situations.  This starts from the beginning when pixies are being plied with gin in taverns.  Then she mentions that elves are masters at being able to hide in plain site.  Details such as these gave depth to the story and helped me understand various situations as they unfolded.  Moving throughout the magical realm was seamless due to the placement of the details.I liked the mix of fantasy, romance, action and suspense that flowed through the book as Zyre travels from her own world to the world of humans.  The addition of vampires adds a nice twist and the story continues to flow well with the addition of other characters such as the cat Zyre encounters once we are to the part about the vampire house.I liked this book for many reasons.  It is a fairly fast moving story and somehow the author managed to included great detail, yet not slog us down by doing so.I definitely recommend this book if you like fantasy reads especially about elves.
