Review: Wonderfully Imaginative World
Rating: 5 out of 5

Based on this novella, Others of Edenton is a wonderfully imaginative series full of nymphs, warlocks, mages, and even a siren.  It makes me wonder what we might meet in the other books! Like Jim Butcher’s Harry Dresden series, this is a world of fantasy creatures integrated into the modern world.  But rather than being a private eye detective series, this is a dramatic series with more than a dash of magic and romance. I thought Amethyst was a lovely creation full of realistic flaws of hating that she could control people and detesting the idea of taking away someone’s freewill, to not wanting to face her mother, to being uncertain about her direction in life and who to turn to for help. The other characters read realistically too and stand out on their own, even with them being nearly cameos, like Fallon, and Preston.  Even Carl seemed like a believable creature (because a person that controlling is definitely non-human slime), even with being practically a moustache twirling bad guy. And based on this, I am certainly interested in reading more of the series.
