Funny, quick, totally awesome read
Dana’s mother is a mess..she’s always drunk. So when Dana runs away to a mysterious father she’s never known in Avalon, the city between everyday earth and faerie world..she doesn’t expect anything that does happen to happen..she doesn’t expect to be kidnapped..she doesn’t expect to find out she’s a faeriewalker..a rare individual who can travel between both worlds, she doesn’t expect to have people wanting her dead, and she doesn’t expect to meet a hot fae boy named Ethan..as Dana gets lost in this crazy adventure she will learn how to trust, to forgive, and maybe even to love..maybe.
This was my first read of Jenna Black’s and can I just say it did not disappoint! Although Glimmerglass is a fae novel, don’t be fooled, it is not like all the other ones! Most fae books have the same storyline, but this one is quite different, which of course is oh so refreshing. Dana is a normal teenage girl, she likes to sing, she likes boys (a lot), and…her mom’s a drunk..okay so that part isn’t so normal. I found myself threw out the book being up and down with Dana, for the most part I liked her, she’s funny, she’s strong, but she is annoying at times..she has an obsession with boys…everytime there is a good looking guy she has to describe how they look and go all gaga eyes over it..and bring it up a few times..she did this for like 4 or 5 guys I think? And I mean don’t get me wrong I love me some pretty boys in books but really? Couldn’t there just be 2 pretty boys ? or 3? Or hell even 1?! Dana takes boy crazy to a whole new level.
Ethan is probably one of my least favorite men in a book, he is Dana’s number one man (out of the like 34234234 million) and to me it just feels like he is using her. I am sure plenty of people love him, I mean he is suppose to be gorgeous, strong and protective, but to me he is cocky, jealous, a player, and stupid? Ya that sounds about right.
Besides the characters immaturity, Glimmerglass really is a great start to a series. It has just the right amount of action, magic, love, family issues, and mystery. Jenna Black takes you into a whole new look at the fae world, you don’t wanna miss this read!
