Ballad: A Gathering of Faerie
by Maggie Stiefvater
I really enjoyed this book much more than the first one, Lament. Ballad had more enjoyable characters and an interesting story line.
While Lament is about Dee, Ballad is about her best friend James. James is a talented bagpipe player who is supernaturally sensitive, meaning he can see and sense some faeries. This book unlike the first one is not a stereotypical boy meets girl love story, the characters have more emotional depth and wisdom. James meets the Leanan Sidhe who calls herself Nuala and the story of their unconventional relationship is funny and relatable. While this is still a love story it is not the love at first sight (soul stealing) kind.
If you enjoyed the Wicked Lovely series or just books on Faerie this will be a good read for you.
