Review: Wonderful story, but...

Eve is a normal 16 year old, and apparently also a fairy princess. This story is a great touching coming of age tale wrapped in an epic, gripping war of good and evil.I was pulled into this one by the first chapter. I read this book well into the night, every moment I could find during the next day and finishing in the wee hours of that night. It's rare for a story to pull me in that way; I really can't say enough about the quality of the content. The love story between a stubborn teenager and her hardheaded protector was sweet and often left me laughing with the way they try to deny their feelings. The interactions between the other characters serve as well positioned transitions and help move the plot  along. The villain is everything he should be: scary, egotistical, tormented and pure evil. The story is a familiar one, but that doesn't make it any less entertaining. Somewhat predictable, but definitely entertaining. I was also surprisingly pleased that this is a novel and not the beginning of a trilogy. It's nice to know the ending isn't a big cliff hanger we see so often in this genre.Even though the actual story was awesome, there were technical issues throughout the book that really irked me. First, it seemed like spell check wreaked havoc. That was clear because words would be wrong but very similar to what it should've been, like it should be 'former' but instead it was 'formal.' That happened allot and was a distraction. The editing overall leaves much to be desired. The other thing that really bugged me was the fact that the narrator of the tale constantly changed, sometimes the point of view would cycle between 4 or 5 characters within the same paragraph. Since the book is told from so many people and always in 3rd person, it's easy to get lost and I found myself rereading portions.Those are my only complaints about Faire Eve. I still recommend this to any fan of fantasy or paranormal romance (as long as editing issues don't drive you nuts). If you can look past the technical issues, this is really a great novel.
