Ballad: A Gathering of Faerie by Maggie Stiefvater
4.0
Well, first off, it would have been nice if somewhere on this book it indicated that it was book #2. As I began the book, there once an immense amount of backstory that I kept waiting for the author to explain. Once I got more than half way through the book, I took a look at the About the Author page and learned that the back story was really a book #1 and I was out of luck.
Regardless, I very much enjoyed this book. James is a witty, intelligent, and compassionate young man who I hope to follow into more exciting adventures. Nuala, Sullivan, and Paul were also very well drawn out and I also hope to get to know them better, especially Paul.
However, I have no intention of reading #1, Lament, as the character of Dee, who seems to have a major role in Lament, is weak-willed and extremely annoying and I hope not to spend more time with her.
