Review: Cute, but needs a little work.

I read a lot of YA and Paranormal novels and this one is good, but could have been better.  The author did a great job using really descriptive language; so much that as you read you could almost envision the world and magical creatures being written about.  Eve is a strong young girl, and i enjoyed reading about her journey. I enjoyed the little bit of romance sprinkled in, and how Eve grows so quickly throughout the rough times.  But there were definitely aspects of the story that brought it down in my opinion.  *Spoilers* When Eve first learns of her fairy heritage she accepts it almost immediately, and then pretty quickly after decides she is going to this magical land to save the people.  I understand she was "predestined" for this, but she is after all a "normal" teenage girl, i would expect some more hesistance to make it realistic.  The author also packs so much into their week(?) long journey that i lost track of time.  Were they there for a day, a week, a year?  So much happened, and Eve changed so dramatically that it seemed weird to have happened in the few days that I thought we had traveled.  Then in the end after everything that happened, Eve goes back to High School?? Wouldn't you just quit, and embrace your fairy heritage and start that journey?  Even with all those slight problems, I still enjoyed the book.  And for a very quick read, if you want a getaway from reality, i would still recommend it.
