The begining felt like a bad Dramione fic, where Hermione always gets humiliated and abused by Slytherins.
Once you make it through that part, things get better. The characters are kind of flat. Not sure why the book is so well-received. The fairy world setting with different kinds of fairy folk is nice though.
