Ballad: A Gathering of Faerie
by Maggie Stiefvater
After I read this I found I no longer liked [b:Lament: The Faerie Queen's Deception|3112850|Lament The Faerie Queen's Deception (Books of Faerie, #1)|Maggie Stiefvater|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1265410418s/3112850.jpg|3144132] as much. James and Nuala are both stronger characters and more alive than Deidre was. And James and Nuala together came across as more realistic.
James was snarky and glib and totally unrepentant, and I loved it. He was a much stronger character as shown by the fact he lost Deidre and he didn't fall apart, he was sad and missed his best friend but he moved on. He was hilarious and a great friend to Peter even though he thought the was a stupid instrument.
Nuala was complex, in the beginning she just wanted to grab a couple years to last her until she burned. Then when for the first time she was rejected she really was developed well as a character.
Deidre completely lost it when Luke was gone. I was annoyed that Luke was completely gone from this novel and angry that Deidre was so unable to cope without him, I mean sure she loved him or thought she did but they were only together two or three weeks. But the most annoying part was her collapse fit within her character that it was so believable for her not to be able to cope without Luke.
And Luke didn't even show up except as a Fey who pretended to be him to get Deidre to kill. It really wrecked Lament for me as the love story that was Lament turned out to be more of a Harpist who a hot guy/souless fey assassin into her.
