This was just okay. I spent a lot of time thinking about what I wanted it to be, rather than what it was.
Despite the book's title, very little time is actually spent in the mysterious village of Anhaga. The characters are in-and-out within the span of just two chapters. The fae remained an ominous background presence throughout, but didn't have as large of a role as I hoped.

The romance didn't work for me. Kaz doesn't have much of a purpose except to be a damsel; he's a scared, inexperienced 19-year-old who gets swept into a contrived romance with his captor. I would have liked it better if Robert had been Min's love interest instead. He was by far the most interesting character in the book, and they actually had some great chemistry.
