Another wonderful adventure by Molly Ringle, weaved with fantastical faery creatures that will leave you dazzled and ready to travel to their land...even without their enchantments. For this story, we're living half in/half out of the faery realm and dealing with much of the same issues our world is dealing with today (like racism against members of your own community and harsh immigration laws, you might even recognize some similarities in a certain leader shockingly elected despite outcry). I love all the characters, good and bad, each with unique talents and traits, and want to learn about every inch of  Eidolonia!! And while not necessary, it helps to read about Ringle's first trip to Eidolonia in Lava Red Feather Blue.
