Beginning the book, the font appeared larger than a normal book would be, which, personally, I disliked and made its first impression on me a negative one. Following that, the cook took on some strong language which was not necessary, even in portraying the character's personality and surroundings she grew up in, which is evidently shown as a really rough and adult place. The wording throughout the whole of the book was not the best and could have been improved if the author tried to make every word count as much as possible, whereas some words were written just to fill up the sentence. Other times, the sentences could have been better structured for easier understanding for the reader. I have had to read over several sentences more than once in order to grasp its full meaning.
Moving on to the storyline itself, some times, a situation would rise to another level, and the chapters would end almost as a cliffhanger, but they were never clear and I have been confused - more than once - as to what exactly, was happening, though it was obvious once it revealed what happened next and if you read back on the part connecting both scenes. As a teenage, fantasy book, it should had expressed more about the girl's conflicting feelings as a human she remembered as well as the faery she is and how all that had influenced her life. In addition, the main part of the story is all in a matter of a few days, yet the story was quite fast-flowing, with little build up to the climax and little, if not, no tension building.
My Overall Rate: 1.2/5
(It was a book I didn't finish and I don't think I'll want to read any sequels...)
