I liked that the book had an appendix with Irish words and phrases as well as an appendix with the cast of characters with a brief description of each. I have to confess I love fairies! The cover art is fantastic and a real eye catcher. I feel Fantasy lovers will enjoy:The Dream Crystal (The Dream War Series)
