The first thought that came to mind while reading this novel is, "Greek Mythology meets a creepy Halloween ghost story."All's Fair in Vanities War: by Elizabeth Marx is most certainly a paranormal read. The variety and characteristics of the characters in the story remind me of "The Lord of the Rings" or an adult version of "Spiderwick". I do not mean the characters are the same, but that the characters are human like and that there are several different types of these human like beings.The first third of this book is a little slow and complex. There are a lot of details about the characters and the setting. There is also some background explaining how the story came to be. Although this section was a little difficult to get through it is essential for the comprehension of the remainder of the story. The story really starts to take off just before the end of the first third of the book.As I progressed through this story the characters face several mysteries. As they look for answers and a path to their future and to safety their stories start to intertwine in interesting ways.The further I got in the book the more interesting it became. I absolutely love the second of this book. If you enjoy supernatural stories or stories about the craft you will love this book.
