This book took me a while to get me interested.  The first quarter of the book was good but just didn't really draw me in.  I was intrigued enough though to keep reading.  This book was completely unpredictable and a I though a fresh take on the fae and human interaction.  Really enjoyed the role religion played in this as well.  Wish there was a sequal.

I just couldn't get into this one. I have a firm belief that most books are pretty awesome (there is always an exception) but not all books are for everyone. This was wasn't for me, but it may be for you!

66% through and decided to not finish.
Fairy books make me think of sparkle and pizazz. This book didn't bring any of that. I like historical books, I love reading about royalty and that, I like reading about Fae, so I expected based on the blurb to love this.
There is a female character, faerie Lune, and a male character, human Deven. They're both fine. Nothing new or exiting about what is at stake for them. Lune has fallen out of her queen's good graces, you would think having fallen and now attempting to build herself back up, the reader would be invested...I'm not.

Deven is working his way up into the ranks at his human court. Again, you would think with that, there would be intrigue and excitement. I found it very dull.

Maybe things would have gotten more exciting if I waited around longer, but I went to start it thinking "I can't wait until this is done so I can read something else" and that's when I knew I should quit.

I loveed it! It takes place in the Elizabethen Era. It make you want to rethink what might be under you. Dirt? A graveyard? Or.... maybe an underground palace? It also makes you want to rethink on how Queen Elizabeth might have gain her throne. Did she do it by her self? Or with some magical help?
