A review by asma_aj
Ballad: A Gathering of Faerie by Maggie Stiefvater

4.0

Following the events during the summer, James and Dee are accepted at Thorn-King Ash, a school for the musically talented, but James knows there's something more to this school. Struggling with his feelings for Dee, James goes chasing after faeries at night, and he comes across Naula, a solitary fey who won't think twice about killing him for his gift. As James and Naula play a dangerous game, the Fearies have their own plans of freedom, one that could endanger the whole school.

If I'd thought the first book was all fast and insta-love, but still wow, THIS one blew my mind with it perfection! I LOVED James' point of view. He was solid, witty, crisp. To read the rest of the review, visit A Reading Kabocha @ http://areadingkabocha.blogspot.com
