This was a very sweet and entertaining read. I know an absinthe fairy in my life (though she is not Fae), so I was immediately intrigued. 
The story was a bit more geared towards teens than I would've liked, which came through in how young Sybil and Esme seemed through their dialogue. 
Still, I will now carry the beautiful images and places from this story in my mind, which is lovely.
