Ballad: A Gathering of Faerie
by Maggie Stiefvater
The most memorable characters are the ones who allow you to find your identity while they are seeking their own. James is devastatingly self-depricating and sarcastic when we meet him, which is only furthered by his ill-fated loves. The angst and the despair and depression were what made this novel so beautiful, and the humor and witty dialogue hiding deeper, more sinister emotions kept things light enough to make it easy to read. This is a GREAT novel; Lament was nothing compared to this. I love all of the characters, and they will stay with me forever because they each taught me something about myself while finding their own story.
